Hardcore
<div class="IPBDescription">No, no...the music style!</div> Well, I want to see if there are other fans of hardcore (hXc) music in the NS community. I find fans of the style are pretty rare in the HL gaming scene, and...yeah, you get my point.
I've personally been into the hardcore scene for the better part of 3, maybe 4 years. Started listening to the music probably 6 or so years ago.
Anyway, if you dig the style, throw up a post in here, with some bands you like. And if you dont listen to hardcore, now is a time to start. It kicks.

What the hell is hardcore anyway?
By the way, the only bands I can really recommend right now are Beauty to Ashes and Haste the Day, i've been listening to them non-stop recently.
HASTE THE DAY IS A CHRISTIAN BAND! SUCK THAT YOU 'ROCK' HATING CHRISTIAN COMICS!
*edit* Minor Threat was like, the beginning of the Straight-Edge Hardcore movement, gotta love them. And as far as 'what the hell is hardcore'...here is how I can explain it.
The **** backwards cousin of 'punk' rock, as it was obviously birthed from the ORIGINAL punk scene, by Minor Threat. Characterized by its screaming and growling lyrics, and complex breakdowns and riffs. The exact opposite of punk rock. Also, a lot of hardcore bands are straight-edge, too...you know. No drugs, alcohol, smoking, have self respect and integrity, et cetera.
STRAIGHT-EDGE ALL THE WAY BABY! *cough* I'm done now.
Worship and Tribute is, start to finish, the most amazing, creative, and vivid collection of music I've ever heard.
Here is his current favorites:
Killswitch Engage "My Last Serenade"
Illnino "Iam Loco"
Illnino "Liar"
Flaw "Payback"
Slaves on Dope "Pushing Me"
When you say Hardcore. I think of the rave genre of Harcore and Happy Hardcore (HHC). lol
I listen to it! <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I get all my hardcore from my sister and her boyfriend ^_-, it's perfect.
Refused, This Is The Shape Of Punk To Come, best record EVER!.
Don't forget Saetia, not hardcore, emo, but it pwns.

Ill Nino and Killswitch are Hardcore?
More like asscore. ;\
And I just saw your quote reading through a second time :

Can we add inflated self importance, condescending attitude to anyone not straight edge, and general 'clique' attitude to everyone else?
Regardless of that, I prefer a little more melody to my music, closest to the style I'll go for are Life of Agony / Downset / Biohazard etc.
- Shockwave
Mostly listen to UKHC stuff like Stampin' Ground, Raiden, Knuckledust, Beatdown Fury, etc.
Also hardcore punk like Minor Threat, Sick Of It All, AFI and other stuff like that.
EDIT: UKHC > * <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Seeing that I don't take any addictive substances, I could be considered straight edge, as well. Yet, I have little problem being on a party with people who get hideously sloshed (hell, it's a main source of amusement to me...).

Any "starter" bands for getting into Hardcore? I like Heavy Metal, how does "Hardcore" compare? (Metal bands include; Motley Crue, Some Guns 'n Roses, Van Halen, Alice Cooper and the like. Actually Alice is more rock n roll but whatever...)

Personally i'd start out with either hardcore punk bands (Definately Sick Of It All) or some more commercial emocore bands like Poison The Well or Funeral For A Friend. Killswitch Engage possibly, if you go back to their pre-fame stuff. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'm pretty much the same Nem, the closest I'll go to addictive substances is a pint or two at most when out with friends, and I maybe actually feel 'drunk' per se once or maybe twice in a year.
My main problem was how often I came into contact with that subculture that annoyed me, but I concede the point that they are most likely the minority. I just find it worrying any group that bases themselves on their 'superiority' for keeping themselves 'clean'. Little too scarily Ayran for me.
- Shockwave
And Nem, shhhhh, all techno kids are nice. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Riot, Riot Upstart is probably their best album ^_-
- Between the Buried and Me
- Every Time I Die
- Norma Jean
- Hopesfall
- Haste The Day
And I would recommend Poison the Well or the old From Autumn to Ashes album for starters. The first two bands that got me interested in the genre. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

That's all I can think of for now, I know some of them are more 'metalcore.' And as for edge kids being elitists, I don't see that much around here.

Listening to hardcore, or even screamo stuff might be kind of tough on your ears at first! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> It's nothing like the melodic goodies of old school stuff like Van Halen. Though a lot of bands do have some pretty killer guitar work...I'd suggest something like Bleeding Through. They have some pretty heavy-hitting tunes, and enough of a blend between screaming, growling, and singing to make most heavy-guitar-driven-music fans happy.
Currently listening to:
Avenged Sevenfold
Alexisonfire
Everytime I Die
Norma Jean
Senses Fail - not <i>as</i> hardcore, but I'm diggin the new album
Poison the Well
Right now, I'd say my favorite is Everytime I Die... they just rule. However A7X's drummer rocks my world. His double bassdrum pedal sounds like it never frickin stops... I wonder if it's even real. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<b>Edit:</b> A Static Lullaby is good, as well.
Killswitch Engage
Actually, I used to be into hardcore more a few years ago, looking at my playlist, it's full of techno and Sonic Mayhem/UT2k4 songs :X
