I guess that the times have changed? VICTORY RECORDS is no longer the number one hardcore label. they are now signing Girlpants bands. What have we come too? Are we so bored that we need to go transvestite on the hardcore scene. How in the hell did this stuff like Atreyu and Autumn to Ashes get classified as hardcore? This trash is ruining the hardcore scene's Integrity altogether!
Where is my Agnostic Front, Madball, Blood For Blood, Hatebreed, Sick of It All, Warzone, Pro-pain, Strife, etc. WHat happened?

I don't get why hardcore bands full of people who dress like idiots is called fashioncore? Dressing like an idiot isn't fashionable at all.

I'll admit I like wearing tighter clothing than huge clothes. I use to be into the HUGE 47" wide jeans and that shit, but that was so 90's... JNCO isn't cool anymore. Now whenever I see huge pants, I'm like, "man I can't believe I actually wore shit that huge"

Terrible, just terrible.

I never wore huge clothes, but I do like baggy over tight, because I am a fat prick.

Wow, the whole "hardcore" scene is really pathetic! Every "band" I see coming out looks exactly like the "band" before them. Every "scream" sounds like every other scream. I might call my "band" something like "Burning tears of Heartache" but thats probably already been taken.
Wasn't punk about non-conformity? against uniformity. The problem here isn't so much that every "hardcore" kid these days is wearing girls jeans, designer hardcore shirts etc..... but moreso that they do it because there is PRESSURE within the scene that you HAVE do do it if you are even going to be RECOGNISED as part of it at all. Which is fucking Bullshit, but it happens, and people want to feel like a part of something. These fags say they all love the look, BUT is it just a fucking coincidence that every fucking new "hardcore/emo" whatever kid these days happens to like EXACTLY the same fucking thing? Im not too worried cos Im certain the scene will eat itself alive before to long
Punk is made by the INDIVIDUAL, not Polo Ralph Lauren.

true!
although I never judge a band by the color of their belt.

i dont like the politics in hardcore, however...
1) don't all punk kids where denim jackets w/ patches and spikes along w/ mohawks or funky died hair? Any group of people that try to be different fail because they're being just like all the other kids in their group. (this doesnt just apply to fashioncore kids)
2) i go to shows and i dont feel the need to wear tight pants

the only reason i know about this is because i happen to be from long island, the "birthplace" of fashioncore. Basically , 2 dudes who liked from autumn to ashes or some garbage like that started making these shirts that said FASHIONCORE and something along the lines of "good moshing, good fighting, good hair" these shirts spread like the black plague they were and the name stuck. cool right?
[Oct 22,2004 2:26am - powerkok ""]
nope!
I sentence this thread to death by deprivation of attention.

Most of the friends I have that listen to metal listen to what you call fashioncore, and so I hear the stuff a lot. I've concluded that FATA's first album is incredible if you're in the right mood, but their second album sucks ass. It's poppy as shit. "The After-Dinner Payback" is the only good song on it.
Atreyu is shitloads of wasted talent. They're excellent guitar players, singers, growlers, etc, but they funnel that talent into trying to make some shitty glam/hardcore/emo fusion. If they cut that out and spent time listening to "The Jester Race", they could be amazing.
Thrice is one band that I actually like. They're halfway between emo and metal, but actually blend the music together into something simply genre-defying that sounds abolutely beautiful. They're poppy, "All That's Left" gets played on X-Rock from time to time, but I don't give a shit. I like their sound, and that's all that matters.
Then there are some other bands that my homies all listen to that aren't poppy, but are part of the same end of the hardcore scene. Himsa is a solid melodic "metalcore" band. Good guitar players, but nothing especially unique or incredible about them.
Killswitch Engage is very good, but I liked them better without Howard. They were great when I saw them in concert with him though. Their backup vocalist/guitarist is a fucking badass! He said some of the funniest stuff I'd ever heard, making fun of the fights that broke out among moshers and the hardcore scene in general. Not in a way that was really fuck-youish, just more as a few words of kindly advice to some of their more scene-devoted fans. He also said he was impressed with Idaho titties and Idaho potatoes while in the area, which made me feel patriotic.
Shadows Fall flippin' rules. I'm sure all you Massachusetts death-metalheads are pretty about the success of the bassist and vocalist of Overcast since they left that band, but it all sounds good from where I am. I've had "The Power of I and I" stuck in my head a lot lately, and have really enjoyed their new album. It's more melodic than their last one and a little less thrash-like. Not that that's necessarily good or bad, that's just how to describe its sound. They're coming to my state with The Haunted soon, so I'm pretty psyched.
I've shared favorite underground metal bands of mine with friends, and though they did think Meshuggah and SYL were fucking maniacal and instrumentally mind-blowing, they didn't seem to really want any of their CDs. I guess these guys are just happy listening to what their older brothers got them into, and what's rippin' up the emocore scene at the moment. Too bad. Oh well. I do know, like, two people who listen to Opeth and Death, and I applaud them on that.

Last night I had a dream that I was at a show and someone had set up a Dance Dance Revolution machine in the middle of the pit and kids were taking turns ninja dancing on the machine.

rev, you should make a rule or fix the site somehow so that anonymous posters can't bring back a thread that's been dead for a month.
i hate to feed the fire, but i can't resist...
a)"why the hell do you care so much about what other people wear... are you all faggots...i actually think fashioncore isnt stupid"
the fact that you follow fashion and dress nice is because YOU are concerned about how others view you. so you're a hypocrit.
b)most metal kids (stereotypically anyways) dress like slobs
everyone loses, everyone's gay, everyone dresses stupid....(except for me while wearing my snoop dogg sweat pants.)
