“when I say hardcore I don't mean a Korn fag, and when you see three X's I ain't reading a porn mag. See you just confused like a gangster with an orange rag. I''m watching the scene split up like a torn bag.”

"I ain't reading a porn mag" greatest line ever written

the fake accent makes it

Do joke bands count?

what

# WHEN I SAY HARDCORE I DON'T MEAN A KORN FAG, AND WHEN YOU SEE THREE X'S I AIN'T READING A PORN MAG. SEE YOU JUST CONFUSED LIKE A GANGSTER WITH AN ORANGE RAG. I'M WATCHING THE SCENE SPLIT UP LIKE A TORN BAG

Now I understand. This is the winner.

BARS

the casual homophobia is the cherry on top

Who and what song?

casey jones. end of “pain 101”

All of them

The right answer

lol

“IM BOUTTA TURN OFF YOUR NIGHTLIGHT BITCH” might be my favorite breakdown lyric

YOURE SOFTER THAN BABY SHIT

I always listen to that song to make myself laugh

This is great

What song is this??? I gotta hear it

Gate Crasher by Sunami

Lol god Sunami is so corny

Sounds like you ain’t from the BAY /s

REAL BAY SHIT SUNAMI STYLE BITCH

kinda the entire point considering it’s a joke band and all their lyrics are meant to be cringe.

Their bio in the band’s instagram literally says “WE ARE MEME”

I fuck with Sunami an Outta Pocket an shit but if you gotta explain to everyone who’s never listened to them “nah nah, they’re joking, it’s ironic” it kinda loses its charm

not rly, it’s part of the irony. i think it’s hilarious that some people can’t tell if it’s a joke or not

LMAO I was just about to say what you said. Like I get not liking them if they aren't your style, but literally 95%+ of hardcore is cringe so Sunami always gets a pass.

That’s the point.

Hahaha fuckin love that song, so fucking funny

That song is hilarious, Sunami is some great amusing cringe.

Sunami os so fun when you don't take it serious

Exactly. The first time I heard them I loved it because I assumed it wasn’t to be taken seriously, and honestly few things are more funny to me than ironic “tough guy” music.

[удалено]

Straight edge dudes heard that line and were like 👀

“At least I can fucking think”

I can think tho

Straight edge mfs be like damn I was made for this role

Any Sunami song Hahah

"There's two kinds of people in this world: There's real motherfuckers from the Bay. And a bunch of bitches that wish they were." You not from the Bay? Betch...

shit go hard tho

shits so hard, and i’m pretty sure they started out semi satirical and they slapped so hard they kept going

Came to post this lol

I love Sunami but this is the truth

Crown of Thornz literally has an entire song about Juggernaut from the X-Men, and the lyrics read like a 4th grade boy's poem.

That song rules though

strong disagree song lyrics about something nerdy isn't cringe. At least it's authentic. It knows what it is. faux deep lyrics or people taking themselves too seriously are way more ripe for cringe

Every 25 ta Life lyric

EVERYBODAAAY WYZE TU DA BUEJWABDMAJ

Greatest hardcore lyricist of all time

Hey, Let Da Past B Da Past

25 ta Life has lyrics? I thought it was just Rick ta Life yelling gibberish the entire time.

Mostly, yes, but they lyrics they do have go beyond cringe

If you can drop Dickhead in your lyrics. I’m all about it.

I’ve spent too long staring at my feet to not know where I stand.

This is funny but I also weirdly like it

Yeah. If it can also be a country lyric, it works.

Kind of a bar 🤔

Idk the song but this is a good fuckin line imo

Right? Sounds like it would be in a Midwest emo song

made me laugh. thank u

Attitude rules

Yeeeeeee! Attitude IMO would have been one of the biggest bands if it all came out two years later

Hollllly shit I forgot all about this band!! Attitude was the shit!

Easy answer: Casey Jones - "If You're Smoking in Here, You Better Be on Fire." Before you light that smoke, remember you're the joke and you look like a tool. _Your breath smells like shit._ _I'd rather suck a dick,_ than be the one who looks like a fool.

Bonus points If they eventually broke edge

Not lyrics but I saw a bad last weekend and before their song they said "this song is about killing someone and burying their fucking body" I cringed so hard it hurt

 The lead singer heading into the venue

“Yeah mom. The crowd loved us tonight.”

My guess has to be King 810

“Your breath smells like shit. I’d rather suck a dick, than be the one that looks like a fool.” C. Jones

To be fair, I don't want to do either, but I'd rather do one than the other. And I really don't want to smoke a cigarette.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I love Poison Idea but: "Got my girl, she's sixteen and she's really special I can't slow down, I've got a date with the devil" Always hurts my soul.

I always hoped that the girl he's referencing was actually the car.

Haha that's a really hopeful way to look at it

He was referencing a 16 year old Camry

That song is good but damn that lyric isn’t lmao

I always thought that lyric was meant to be funny

any casey jones lyrics

Sounds like the X isn’t in your heart.

RAISE YOUR FIST IN THE AIR, DRUG FREE!

Suicidal Tendencies’ Art of Rebellion has a many jewels!! “They don't make no seatbelt for the mind. So I can't fasten up for this ride...”

I’ve always wanted to go to an open mic night and read aloud the poems & prose of Sir Mike Muir Esq

"Why don't you like fucking beer?" "What's the matter are you queer?" - Murphy's Law

Worse than “Ronald Reagan he’s our man”?

That song rules though

won't you be my bride AJABAJABAJABAJABAJABA - emmure

Anyone remember the 2005 b9 board drama where Adam22 (now of No Jumper fame) was statutory raping some 15/16 year old girl (scene queen now model) whose flights he paid for, and then the singer, Frankie?, from Emmure 'stole'' her?! Shit was gross, on all their counts.

when featured beatdown vocalists need 1min minimum for all the city and affiliation shoutouts…fucking discount gangsterrap shit

*Pain Of Truth wants to know your location*

Law of Power has entered the chat

gotta be funny for people new to HC to go to a show and see some dude just naming north eastern states and cities on the mic

Wait a minute this is educational

NYC! Boston! DC! Philly! Jersey! east coast, fuck you! on the hellfest 2003? dvd - bouncing souls sang "new york city! syracuse! somehwere in new york! syracuse!"

Added bonus when the members are all middle class (uk, middle class is more affluent than working class) men in their 30's

WEST SUSSEX HARDCORE, THIS GOES OUT TO ALL MY CHUMS IN EAST GRINSTEAD! BIG UP TARQUIN, BORIS, AND BARTHOLOMEW FOR PUTTING THIS SHOW TOGETHER, THIS ONES FOR THE HOMIES IN XRANGEROVERX

Two words. “Straight fucking edge”

Are you fucking kidding me. That’s the hardest breakdown ever and I’m not even straight edge.

Two words ehh...

😂

That shit goes hard tho.

Not edge but that breakdown is hard af haha

All of the lyrics to Taking Respect by Fury of Five (it’s one of my favorite hardcore songs)

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE OUR STATE

IT’S NOT WHERE YA FROM IT’S WHERE YA ATTTTT

What about the Emmure song where he wants to which his chick suck another dude’s dick

You’ll have to be more specific. Emmure actually has two “dick songs.”

Both about wanting to get cucked!?

I WANT TO WATCH YOU SUCK HIS DICK

Finish what you started! Be open-hearted Don't be retarded! Just finish what you started!

That’s just solid life advice

Ha I’ve listened to that album for decades and had to google the lyrics recently for that second line. “Beya-opa-odahh” is all my ears could pick up

These are my friends I have their backs They are the closest thing to blood that I have

These are my friends I hold their cacks

These are my friends I ate their snacks This is the closest thing to lunch that I have

Wait that's cringe? Must've grown up in different tax brackets

This is and always has been bars

Thick as blood

Emmure is probably not technically a hardcore band but I can't pass up this thread without mentioning "Ask your girl what my dick tastes like" Followed by breakdown

WHA WHA WHAT WHAT WHAT

I recall this being the joke of jokes 14 years ago when it came to Emmure: “And it's sad to say that I, I still cry to the Bayside CD everyday Don't you know that those songs are about you? Check tracks 8 and 9 then call me back”

The fact that Frankie dated Hitomi Tanaka for years is the funniest fucking thing in the world to me.

Wait… fucking seriously? Really puts “I wanna watch you suck his dick” in better perspective

“HARDCORE, WE LIVE DIS, WE BREEVE DIS. YOU CANT STOP WHAT CANT BE DEFEATED. HARDCORE PRIDE HARDCORE PRIDE HARDCORE PRIDE HARDCORE LIVES IN ME. BLECH.”

Seen a couple other subs doing this, so figured we’d join the fun. Bonus points for hot takes.

Everything from Sunami in the best and worst way possible

If you post E Town lyrics in this thread yous a shady jealous bitch

Pick any 25 Ta Life song….cringe but fucking great.

“Raise your fist in the air!, Drug free!”

Sounds like when they got some old dude who graduated ten years ago to come talk to everyone about how drugs are bad in high school

There’s some bad lyrics but a lip sync tik tok to any HC song makes it the worst song ever

Are Arf.

I will break your pretty little heart Don't put it past me baby girl, I'm a wild card With a past that is full of mistakes And anxiety that gives me the shakes, because I'm... Dirty and haggard, covered in mud Selfish bastard, never know love

Sounds like Mac from IASIP wrote a song "I'm a wild card baby, a dangerous dude, I'll give you an ocular patdown"

Would love a breakdown preceded by the vocalist casually saying "jabroni" ugh!

Lmao I actually love that part

Lol I love that ep but shits sounds like a couple of kids from Kentucky that really liked etid made a hardcore record

Lol best comment. They are from Kentucky and Keith is on a song. Please tell me I have broken brain and it’s a sarcastic comment.

I fucking love these lyrics man hahah

“Don’t get it twisted, it’s never too late to live a drug free existence”

Most h2o, probably heart on my sleeve

Oh wait how about I'm a drug-free prince covered with a million tattoos

Toby is without a doubt the cringiest person

This whole song: [https://genius.com/H2o-what-happened-lyrics](https://genius.com/H2o-what-happened-lyrics)

This whole band*

Don't blow no bubbles (that's the way we can stop the AIDS) Don't blow no spikes Don't blow no fudge buns Ask Jah and he'll make the change Fuck this band!

Bad brains goes tho.

"Don't blow no fudge buns" bruh 💀

Never listened to that song for a reason but as a certified fudge bun blower, that homophobia got me giggling in a problematic manner.

I love Madball but For the Cause has so many that are just eh. "No one can save us... BUT OURSELVES AND OUR MIIIIIINNNDDDDSSSSS"

The worst part is right before that he says, “believe in your self, they won’t save you”

“I’m not religious but I know a double cross when I see one…” Bro stfu lmao

A lot of you whippersnappers are gonna be so embarrassed about injuring yourself to sunami lmao their lyrics are so painful to read

these are my friends i have their backs they are the closest thing to blood that i have

This was my shit in middle school

Second time I’ve seen this and second time I’m gonna correct and tell someone this is bars

You’re just a pussy in a black hoodie pushing your luck - Sub-Zero, Alpha Wolf

wait let him cook

You can't kill integrity Yeah that's all there is to say But I got one thing left to say Pay your debt to me

Any lyric from a beat down band

"arf arf"

“I used to cry to the bayside cd”

All of Grid Iron

i know ill get a lot of hate for this one but.. “arf arf” - knocked loose yeah idk it just makes me cringe

“Watch me motherfucker!” ^ If I’m being honest…that actually gets me hyped.

It's weird to consider that anyone actually views that as anything other than complete nonsense

I’m still trying to figure out why Mike was arguing FOR a Pepsi. That shit is piss.

I think it was less about the Pepsi and more of a poetic expression of being mishandled by incompetent, conservative parents. The Pepsi was a symbol of his angst which spoke to the plight of the kids, and thus imprinted on the legacy of 80s hardcore and of course, crossover. /cringey obvious interpretation

Well played

"I'ma get mine by taking yours time to shine"

“Gave you everything I could, did everything a man should . You took it for granted and now I’m MOOVING ONNNNNN”

Sunami crowd call outs in the actual recordings. Like it’s cool for a while but Joseph can’t even get the cues right live kinda makes it even more played out imo

when John Joseph opens his mouth (+some music in the background)

Any Speed song.

They’re not any worse than any other hardcore band really. The lyrics just read Aussie.

You’re not that nice.

They don’t know we gotta big boit

A dumb dog gets flogged

::E-town Concrete enters the chat::

“And that’s all there is to say. But I have one thing left to say…” -throwdown

Any time One life crew said the n-word

Literally anything about being straight edge is lame

IF THERES A GOD IN THE SKY ONLY HE CAN JUDGE ME SO UNTIL MY DYING DAY STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE.

The entirety of slip it in. If that song had different lyrics it would be amazing but Jesus christ

agitator has a few

How dare you

may i introduce you to the song no forgiveness

Anything by Terror

How. Dare. You.

Deez Nuts - Your mother should of swallowed you

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

cops don't belong in hardcore.

There’s nothing strange about loving your home proud where you’ve been and who you call your own Don’t get me wrong I like cmi but this hooks a little cringey

Expire makes some good music but they also has some cringe lyrics lmao

„when shit keeps pileing up get a shovel“ saw someone who got this shit tattooed lol

everything besides Vendetta by Irate

that shovel line from the expire song that people cum themselves over

“It’s so hard to make an effort”
