Your Definition

An avid listener of metalcore, deathcore, grindcore, post-hardcore or any other genre of heavy music that incorporates hardcore punk elements. A corehead would typically wear a hat, have ear gauges and have a superfluous amount of tattoos. The metal community has a love and hate relationship towards these individuals. Coreheads have been ostracized due to the stigma perpetuated by the metal community. Some live a straight edge lifestyle while others love to participate in a recreational leisure. While keeping a balance of metal and hardcore (this excludes post-hardcore and hardcore), breakdowns, blast beat drumming, high and low fry screaming, melodic riffs, pig squeals, emotional lyrics, and down tuned guitars are mostly enjoyed by the common corehead. The biggest bands known within this community are As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, As Blood Runs Black, Rings of Saturn, In Dying Arms, Within Destruction, Napalm Death, Carcass, Pig Destroyer, Silverstein, Alexisonfire, Attack Attack, Asking Alexandria, etc..

The word corehead has the same suffix as metalhead and was influenced by that word. The word was coined from the result of the ostracization within the metal community.
