Definition

A portmanteau that mashes "emotional" and "hardcore" together to describe the subset of punk rock where feelings are louder than the guitars. This mid-'80s genre evolution brought introspective lyrics and dramatic aesthetics to the mosh pit. Essentially, it's hardcore punk that's not afraid to cry in the corner of a venue.

Example Usage

Their new album goes hard but has those emocore vibes with all the confessional lyrics.
