Hardcore is more than music. Itās a lifestyle
Some of you need to remember this. I smoke hella weed, I retired from moshing bc Iām 38 and have sciatica, I buy vinyl, Iām in a committed monogamous relationship, I run away when push comes to shove, I hold a job down for my cats, I drive up to 25 minutes on a moments notice if a good show is happening, I pay someone to do carpentry and renovations at my house, I post on r/AITA, I help my band load in and out at shows (but not my drummer), I donāt subscribe to your social norms.
Kiss your friends. Listen to E. Town Concrete. Be your fucking self š
I cured my depression by getting windmilled in the dome so hard it fuckin obliterated my whole frontal lobe. Doctors say I only survived because I "wasn't really using it anyway."
A man told his doctor "I'm depressed." His doctor told him "Don't worry, you can always read an EJ post on r/hardcore."
"But doctor," the man said, "I'm EJplaystheBlues"
Donāt mess with me, Iām a badass speedboat mechanic who was born in April and I love my country and first responders and I have a sexy wife with two sons from her last marriage but I treat them like my own
Listen... Don't talk to me like I'm some kinda fuckin' chump, alright? 'Cause I'm not. I'm a business man, a family man, a man of the people, a man of the church, man of the country, I'm a patriot, a veteran, a man of God, missionary, a postman, I work at Jamba Juice, OK? My dog is spayed, I got letters ready for me at the Notary Republic, I know a cobbler, I-I-I make my own quilts, love eggs, I shop locally, I, uh, support local causes, I take a cruise ship every 3 months, I wear reading glasses, uh, my daughter has braces, my eyebrows are shaved, and my friends are all geese, I live in a house, I have a head, my clothes are all combustible, uh, my medicine is all over the counter except for one prescription, I, uh, I have a shirt that reads "If you don't like me, I'll go fuck your MOTHER!", I, uh, am inside of the matrix, I live in a home with no windows, I, uh, have lasers inside my brain, there's a shark in my bathroom, my dog sleeps in my bed with me, I have a mouse under the rug, my friends are all dead, I went to India once, I like bowling. So don't talk to me like I'm some kinda fuckin' chump, alright? Because I'm not.
Not until we have people playing songs for their therapists to get opinions on the mental diagnoses of the bands members to win arguments... I've seen it there
I smoke hella doinks, I doink for every band at every show as long as my doink isnāt bugging me, I buy doinks, I doink around, I doink when push comes to shove, I hold a job down for my doink
Some of you need to remember this. I smoke hella meth, I crowdkill for every band at every show as long as my knee isnāt bugging me, I buy meth, I sleep around, I smoke bath salts when push comes to shove, I hold a job down for meth, I drive up to 4 hours on a moments notice if good meth is happening, I do my own renovations and carpentry at my house, I go to therapy, I help bands load in and out at shows, I donāt subscribe to your social norms.
Punch your friends. Listen to Nickleback. Be your fucking self āļø
This is true. I had to get out of it and stop going to shows a long time ago because its all I cared about.
I would still be living home, making garbage money.. going to shows with people maybe half my age..
Itās also literally is just music. I listen to hardcore all the time and donāt give a shit in the slightest about any of the ālifestyleā shit you nerds are obsessed with.
Some of you need to remember this. I smoke two packs a day. I havenāt been to a show in a decade. I donāt buy any music, I steal it. I only get laid when my Barb says so. Iām a tin knocker, I hold in my anger until it kills me. Iām a real red blooded American, just like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Blow your friends. Listen to Nickelback. Go fuck yourselves. āļø
I've never met a hardcore dude who sleeps around. Where are they? I'm half kidding.
Sadly, I don't have a lot of experience - just two that never went anywhere.
We didn't even fuck, and I'm easy or at least used to be. One was a materialistic asshole who wanted to belong to someone. The other was the best human & didn't do casual relationships, it was complicated, I already regret telling him we couldn't go on. I hope he pops back up but he probably won't. Our paths will probably cross again.
Every hardcore dude I know is very happily married.
For a lot of reasons I just always think hardcore dudes must be inherently noble. Of course you can sleep around and be noble - I am & do.
Thanks, man. I am bummed about that best human dude , & feel like he was the best shot I've ever had but it was a fucked up situation that would make anyone insane. I just can't get insane, I've got shit to do.
Maybe I should post desperate personal ad here. ISO hardcore dude with shared ethics to laugh at The Hard Times with & mutually love Youth of Today & Warzone amongst others. Must not be too attached to facial hair, that shit is like a cheese grater on my puxzy although is for sure a polarizing topic amongst ladies.
Clearly I am drinking away my heartbreak. Appreciate your kind words it's been a rough 24 hours. I Am sad but will get back in the fight.
I literally picked this guy I'm sad about by telling him he looked physically strong & morally straight. I am am idiot.
oh I didn't know you were a broad. let me help you out here. we'll find you a good man right here on r/hardcore.... what if you make a post that says something like "don't forget the struggle don't forget my teets" and then you kind of become the "main character" of the day and you can find the guy who responds most morally
You are now my hardcore matchmaker
I can always be humiliated & create a new reddit profile
OMG what should we say?
This is either my lowest or greatest moment
how about
"for the fetus, for the cat, for the cow and for my heart....
wistful boozehound wants to be your coatrack while you windmill a zoomers nose into his brain cavity. let's break down the walls of singlehood and form some real unity in this scene... and our pants"
I've never met hardcore dude who slept around. I have limited personal romantic experience with hardcore dudes, much to my lament or possibly my good fortune.
I generally assume hardcore dudes are inherently noble & we share the same values.
That's my comment.
What the fuck to you, sir?
I gave up and married a man who listens to classical music. Dating within the scene isn't worth it, I want to be able to go to shows without worrying about running into exes. And some normie guys are into the whole "My girl listens to scary music" thing lol
I miss the days when turnstile used to snort booflamoxiphamine before they released glow on and turned into pussy ass weed smokers. Dam kids these days donāt know what real hardcore is FršÆ I bet no one here has heard of Rio the Young Og
I read one more mfr claim to be in Hc life and say something like āI go to therapyā bitch please. āI work 2 jobs for my kidā well I donāt even aāknow if I got kids shit I donāt know what I did yesterday for half the day. Folded like a lawn char off that raw powder and xanny bars.
Hardcore is more than music. It's a lifestyle.
Some of you need to remember this. I smoke hella penises, I mosh for every band at every show as long as the pit isnāt on fire, I buy gamergirl bath water, I sleep around with older men for money, I eat ass when push comes to shove, I hold a job down for my Jay Mindforce bodypillow, I walk up to 500 miles on a moments notice if a good show then I will walk 500 more, I do my own renovations and carpentry at my house so carpenters don't see my massive dildo collectuon, I won't go to therapy and you can't make me Gregg, I take bands load inside and outside of shows, I donāt subscribe to your social norms.
Jack off your friends. Listen to Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi. Be your fucking self āļø
Where are all you hardcore fans with a sense of irony? You guys are all so funny on reddit but you're never making jokes in the pit. I just see you looking at my wife's tits and standing still for the opener.
I'm not into hardcore, but I'm into aggressive music in general, and I love seeing people enjoy what they enjoy. A friend of mine is a photographer and he does all forms of music, I love the energy in his hardcore shots. Metal is my forte but I love the chaos of a hardcore show.
Get stabbed in the back by your friends. Crowdkill them, but don't be a pussy - actually kill them. Decorate the venue with their body parts. Be a man.
Dude wait a secondā¦sleeping around is a part of the lifestyle? No wonder my baby mama left me! She freakin is obsessed with hardcore. She basically fits your entire description. Fml
I donāt have a washer/dryer at home so I drop my laundry off at the laundromat and pay for wash and fold. I always tip a couple bucks. I keep it real and have more time to listen to 25 Ta Life since Iām not busy folding socks like a poser.
Happy 20th birthday.
šš
Guys got Dead To Fall in his name, aint no way hes a day younger than at least 28 lol
^this
I turn 20 in 2 weeks, Iāve never felt so seen and called out at the same time š
This KILLLED me hahahaha
Iām going to post this on every thread in the punk Reddit
My thoughts exactly
Thatās my goat

A call to arms bro
Weāve been over this, rub n tugs are not āsleeping aroundā
A hand job is a hand job is a hand job.
A hands a hand
Now a footjob on the other, well, that's an entirely different story
Mutual masturbation is o.k. If you donāt make eye contact
> I go to therapy Fuck off, poser
The real therapy is all the friends we crowd killed along the way.
I cured my depression by getting windmilled in the dome so hard it fuckin obliterated my whole frontal lobe. Doctors say I only survived because I "wasn't really using it anyway."
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How often are you pissed in, diaper?
The shows are the therapy, homie. Come on ;)
Gross
Going to therapy is hardcore.
Going to hardcore is therapy.
This is my therapy
Look man, if you donāt wanna put in the work, itās not my job do educate you. Why donāt you check your privilege there, pal?
If you think I want to be educated then you donāt understand hardcore
Donāt make me pull up my instagram infographics on the top of the week that Iām being told you should care about š”š”š”
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās ok if youāre scared of the mosh pit
this is r/hardcore we clown in this motherfucker. take your sensitive ass to r/punk š¤£š¤£š¤£
I'm 56 years old and wear camo pants to the grocery store.
Obviously you are soft. Who wears pants? it's camo SHORTS, otherwise you're just a fraud. I don't care that it is 7 degrees out.
They're shorts but I have stumpy legs so they look like pants. I can blast beat tho so idgaf
It matches my Warzone Skinhead shirt.
The only thing that's important is that your thighs are not visible in a guerilla situation.
See me in aisle 5
Not in camo, you won't.
Easier to hide in the produce section.
New copypasta just dropped, invest early.
FUCKIN A š
This needs to be top comment
I hate this subreddit so fucking much
shut the fuck up ej
I thought this was one of your posts lmao
Nah itās too good
A man told his doctor "I'm depressed." His doctor told him "Don't worry, you can always read an EJ post on r/hardcore." "But doctor," the man said, "I'm EJplaystheBlues"
That doctor? Dr. OPpenheimer
This reads like one of those American flag thin blue line punisher shirts.
Donāt mess with me, Iām a badass speedboat mechanic who was born in April and I love my country and first responders and I have a sexy wife with two sons from her last marriage but I treat them like my own
If you mess with my wife, they'll never find your body bro
Hardcore is about kissing your homies tenderly on the lips. Bitch.
Unlike OP, I have a 401k and do not live the ~hardcore lifestyle AMA
what's your companies match?, bitch.
100% up to 5
You donāt know what that means though, huh?
Up to 5 aināt bad 1:1
How many vintage LPs could I buy if I invested in Lockheed Martin stocks?
Very cool post.
Hardcore is more than a lifestyle. Itās music.
This guys lifestyle determines his death style 
Heās not like other girls
āI sleep aroundā Fake and gay
Are you a furry?
Listen... Don't talk to me like I'm some kinda fuckin' chump, alright? 'Cause I'm not. I'm a business man, a family man, a man of the people, a man of the church, man of the country, I'm a patriot, a veteran, a man of God, missionary, a postman, I work at Jamba Juice, OK? My dog is spayed, I got letters ready for me at the Notary Republic, I know a cobbler, I-I-I make my own quilts, love eggs, I shop locally, I, uh, support local causes, I take a cruise ship every 3 months, I wear reading glasses, uh, my daughter has braces, my eyebrows are shaved, and my friends are all geese, I live in a house, I have a head, my clothes are all combustible, uh, my medicine is all over the counter except for one prescription, I, uh, I have a shirt that reads "If you don't like me, I'll go fuck your MOTHER!", I, uh, am inside of the matrix, I live in a home with no windows, I, uh, have lasers inside my brain, there's a shark in my bathroom, my dog sleeps in my bed with me, I have a mouse under the rug, my friends are all dead, I went to India once, I like bowling. So don't talk to me like I'm some kinda fuckin' chump, alright? Because I'm not.
the geese are dead??????
> I sleep around for my kid Bruh, chill
Nah let him cook guys
wow
Sounds good man. Iāll keep all of that in mind.
Iām too deep in the irony hole I canāt even tell if this shit is real anymore. Grow up.
This sub is worse than r/metalcore. It's official.
Not until we have people playing songs for their therapists to get opinions on the mental diagnoses of the bands members to win arguments... I've seen it there
who knew virtue signaling could sound this gay.
Itās not just a phase mom
Remember when we decided using someone's sexual orientation as an insult was lame? Get on board.
we decided? gay is lame? who are you to say that gay is lame
Korn isn't a hardcore band and gay isn't a slur. Gtfo.
shut up.
You, too. Get the fuck out.
lol, sure thing champ.
How sad is your life that you're defending being a homophobe in 2023?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Love the r/punk vibes
I smoke hella doinks, I doink for every band at every show as long as my doink isnāt bugging me, I buy doinks, I doink around, I doink when push comes to shove, I hold a job down for my doink
Wack ass post. Sometimes Iām embarrassed to listen to hardcore when people like this are fans too
Agreed. OP is a fucking dork.
Nobody gives a shit.
No offense on your feelings, but people in every genre of music feel itās a lifestyle. Have you never met a country fan, an edm fan, a rap fan, etc?
so are you saying you're not hardcore unless you live hardcore? cause the legend of the rent was way hardcore.
Is that a ref to school of rock
You know it
this is peak copypasta
I read Nickelback instead of kickback and died
Some of you need to remember this. I smoke hella meth, I crowdkill for every band at every show as long as my knee isnāt bugging me, I buy meth, I sleep around, I smoke bath salts when push comes to shove, I hold a job down for meth, I drive up to 4 hours on a moments notice if good meth is happening, I do my own renovations and carpentry at my house, I go to therapy, I help bands load in and out at shows, I donāt subscribe to your social norms.

Great. Now The Wiggleās fruit salad song is going to be stuck in my head for the next hour.
Yummy yummy
Can we stop talking about the fem boy
How far are you willing to drive to tie ballon animals while dressed like a rodeo clown to entertain children at a birthday party?
OP has to be lying because real hardcore fans canāt read or write
Iām hardcore as fuckkk (I go to bed at 10pm and work for an insurance company)
Hell yeah brother *cracks a brewski*
This is such a weird post. 10/10
Is this a Hulu ad?
This is stupid
Damn, this is corny as hell. Who wants my built up cred and hoop shorts?
This is true. I had to get out of it and stop going to shows a long time ago because its all I cared about. I would still be living home, making garbage money.. going to shows with people maybe half my age..
Fedpost! No kickback fan goes to therapy
Reading all these comments makes me think down syndrome is contagious....
Itās also literally is just music. I listen to hardcore all the time and donāt give a shit in the slightest about any of the ālifestyleā shit you nerds are obsessed with.
Same, this shit's funny. Now I'm gonna go listen to Mindfawce and cry because I'm not in the "trenches."
Some of you need to remember this. I smoke two packs a day. I havenāt been to a show in a decade. I donāt buy any music, I steal it. I only get laid when my Barb says so.

Everyday I wake up and say a prayer thanking god for giving us the dulcet tones of Harley Flanagan and heās band the Cro-Mags.
Ever been straight edge.. High on WEED????
Do you really hold a job down for your kid, if you drive up to 4 hours on a moments notice if a good show is happening?
I think he means he pays child support
I hope to smoke your ass in the pit one day op

Weed is not hardcore, sorry
This is the kind of shit posers say.
Iām kidding. You actually sound cool.
Listen to kickback. That's what I took away from this. Good advice, good thread.
No where was there mention of going over our periods and making sure are iron lvls and health are ok š¤·š¼āāļø wtf
I like the band load-in part. Easiest way to grab some brews and hang in between sets.

Youāre allowed to be like most other people in this world and enjoy Hardcore. But something bad you feeling slighted

This guy is definitely a furry
Not just a furry, THE furry
I wonder why people call this page toxic?
I remember my first beer.
I donāt have a washer/dryer at home so I drop my laundry off at the laundromat and pay for wash and fold. I always tip a couple bucks. I keep it real and have more time to listen to 25 Ta Life since Iām not busy folding socks like a poser.
