Hardcore is a subgenre of Punk that originated in North America in the late 1970s. Some of the original punk bands disbanded, or moved onto more experimental genres such as post-punk and art punk. In the States, hardcore emerged with a new sound, which was generally thicker, heavier, and faster than standard punk rock. It is sometimes characterized by short, loud, and passionate songs about serious topics such as government, capatalism, anarchism, war and the new hardcore culture itself.

3 main Pioneers in this new style were North Americans

Black Flag 1976 (Godfathers),

Bad Brains 1977 (Light speed tempos)

Minor Threat 1980 (after splitting two members started first hardcore record label-DISCHORD RECORDS)

But the major influential record was The germs-GI 1979 LP essentially a hardcore record.

The United Kingdom UK82(UK HARDCORE) The Exploited, Charged GBH, Picture frame seduction, Discharge (Influenced Swedish Hardcore), and The Anti-nowhere league Got Britain off to a banging start then in the early 90's DISCHORD records changed to emo music,

In 2000 many hardcore groups kept there musical roots and ideals Although evolving with the generation spawning a great variety of new styles including-Melodic Hardcore, Speed Metal, Thrash metal, Mosh, Crossover, Grundge Music, Alternative Rock and the pop punk breakdown

Also spanning an impressive hold on the music scene in- Australia, Brazil, Canada, Italy, Greece, Japan, Scandanavia, South Wales, Umeå, and Yugoslavia, It was ultimately the style That shaped the music of today

Hardcore is a style of hard rock that originally came from punk rock. It still has somewhat of a punk sound and attitude to it. Some hardcore has screamed lyrics, but some doesn't. It's kind of hard to define.

No disrespect but here's a direct answer. Aggression is the key. Most music in this genre involves swearing, vulgar naming of either sex, narrations about instigating a crime and fighting, rape, and generally breaking the law. This is not all it takes to be awarded with this distinction. I do hope you get the idea.
