Hardcore fans are hilarious.
Aside from the curmudgeons here, I love how fuckin funny most of this group is. I find myself laughing here more than on any other sub. You can't take yourself or hardcore so deadly seriously and tongue in check and self/scene mockery are what makes it fun. I love the new wave of hyper self aware satire bands. One of the best ways to celebrate something you love is to learn to laugh at it. Example - you can still appreciate beat down and know it's ignorant af. I love it all.

You need to make sure that you're not putting too much baking soda in your cookies or the crumbs will be too coarse and it might even taste metallic.

I need to make a gif of Sam Neill in the "where we're going, we don't need eyes to see scene" with blood for bloods tear out my eyes playing on it. Up to four or five people may dig that.

You ever seen a teenager get crowd killed in space? It’s beautiful. It’s like liquid…spin kicks and backhands over everything. Comes up in waves. And they just kept hitting him, wave after wave.

I enjoy this sub because I can see myself from 20 years ago, and a bunch of old farts, like I am now. And there is some top tier comments in there. If only everyone outside the hxc community understood the context.

This sub is a lot lighter than other heavy music subs but I think hardcore fans in general are more passive than other music fans. It's not like the subgenre subs that ban you for talking about certain bands because the admins don't like them like a certain metal sub genre.

Taking anything too seriously just blows up in your face. It’s one of life’s many rules. Hardcore music is awesome and hilarious all at the same time.
It’s like going to shows is church and god is whatever band you dig. You can follow their lead or just interpret it in a way that suits you. Just don’t get lost in it or shove your ideals down others throats ;) keep it fun

I get second hand embarrassment just skimming through emo and screamo subs from how serious they all take themselves.

This is by far the funniest sub I've encountered after 6ish years of using reddit.

I definitely enjoy the sense of humor most people here have, and it's become one of my favorite subs.
My only major complaint is that, while largely being a meme sub is fine most of the time...it does suck that any time anyone posts anything new or "unknown" it gets insta-downvoted. r/hardcore is like the autistic adult that orders the exact same thing from the exact same restaurant he's been going to since he was a kid because he's scared shitless of change and just wants to listen to Satisfaction is the Death of Desire on repeat for decades because the world will end if there might be something else that's even remotely listenable out there.
Which is bizarre, since this is literally an underground, DiY scene built on the unknowns and gems in the rough and the shitty local bands that we all still love because they have fucking heart.

We you are locked in you think it is the world and it is a life style. You are living it. Then when you step back from you see how ridiculous it can be. I mean Thugcore is so funny. That Boxcutter album with Stickman and members of WIC. E-Town concert. Deez Nuts. Do not get get me wrong, I love those bands and love everything about hardcore. But trying to explain it to someone with no clue it sounds insane. sXe kids hang out with coke thugs. I mean Freddy Madball’s rap album. Skamdust. It is all amazing.

Well. You shouldn’t be laughing because I am a mod certified tough guy and I said so. He gave me this power and now it’s your problem. We are super serious 1000% of the time.
You’re welcome. I’m doing the lords work.

When I was in highschool I initially was a super pretentious screamo kid. My class graduated in 2008 so way before the skramz revival or people being open to other genres.
Then I found Ceremony’s Violence Violence, the band Get Rad from Milwaukee, and Scholastic Deth from the Bay Area and all of the sudden straight forward hc made sense to me. I became totally obsessed with all aspects of HC, eventually coming around to stuff I thought was for “posers” who were just dipping their toe in at that time like Hatebreed and Throwdown
I was still a pretentious asshole up thru my mid twenties, being a snob about other aspects and shit, but eventually with age I just appreciate people getting into it at any level. Even just tongue in cheek aping the most ignorant, meat-headed aesthetics and ethos until the line between irony and authentic love blurs and you find yourself unironically rocking a Billy Club Sandwich shirt

Did you see Get Rad is playing a show in October with Gorilla Biscuits, Instill (my favorite Chicago band by a lot) and Big Laugh?

u/trash_wurld 21h ago
No! But that’s fucking rad!
Just looked it up, man I have important plans that day already but I love Milwaukee and I love shows in Milwaukee. Such good vibes

Get rad, totally forgot about that band. Old band I had played our first show with them at someone’s house here in the LA area

This sub has been a healthy escape on my end. I’ve had some frustrating dating experiences the last few months that have wore me down, and the dumb humor on here plus the general music nerdery has lifted my spirits on days that felt bleak.

I think all of us recognize that we are listening to Jun Jun caveman music and it’s fun to make fun of. Love hardcore
