It
did not take a long time until I was fascinated by the coherence, the
fun in life and the style, which are main parts of that lifestyle.
I
started going to concerts, where I met more and more people who shared
that attitude and I found more and more friends in that scene.
Two years later my three best friends and my boyfriend founded a metalcore- band and so I got increasingly more to do with it.
I
started writing lyrics for their songs and since about one year I have
had the privilege to join every concert they play and sell their shirts.
That gave me the chance to get to know some very famous bands and even
talk to them. Although first I was only impressed by the music I started to become part of that scene.
“Core”
is the colloquial and short form for hardcore, which is basically a
musical genre but moreover it is a lifestyle. Young people tend to live
that attitude towards life.
The musical genre is based on the heavy beats of metal mixed with aggressive vocals and the rapidness of punk.
“Core”
is separated in different subgenres: deathcore, metalcore, hardcore and
beatdown, which is seen as a subgenre although it has no “-core” in its
name.
The origins of all forms of “core” are punk and hardcore.
A
very important part of this scene are the concerts where you can meet
old and new friends, you can get the real feeling and have fun.
The
followers, fans and frequent concert visitors invented their own dance
style called “mosh”, which is another interesting part of that culture.
This
lifestyle is very unconventional – a lot of tattoos and piercings are
used to be different and to shine out from all others and to express
one’s own attitude.
Of course nobody is getting tattooed just for these few reasons, in most of the cases every tattoo has its own story.
