herd-core also herd·core (herdkôr, -kr) adj.

herdcore is the culmination of a set of att-tudes and beliefs held by the london-based ultimate frisbee team, the thundering herd. whilst sharing similarities with the “fiercely loyal” definition of hardcore, as in “fred was a hardcore golfer”, it also requires a fun and positive outlook on frisbee and life in general. it can equally be applied to people, actions, or even inanimate objects, as ill-strated below.

herdcore is a subcultural phenomenon that started in early 2014.
herdcore kids are fully aware that all the choices they have are determined by m-ss-market based data, they embrace that their lives are enslaved by herd-mentality.
they are convinced that they are already branded before they can find their own ident-ties.
they express themselves by wearing cowbells, nose rings (septums), brandings, cow print and burnt holes in clothes plus all sorts of cow-related accessories. herdcore music usually includes cowbell sounds and repet-tive beats.
“i’m not normcore, i’m herdcore because i am aware of my brands.”
“i can still express myself creatively, if only cause i can’t.”
a state of being in which you, plucky little you; the last reveller awake, sucking the sticky sap off the inside of a bottle of jaeger (possibly through a curly straw) have outlasted the rest of the partygoers.
they might have lasted for days, some of their exploits may have been decadent in the exceptional, however…there can be only one!!
much like the highlander (only less sh-t & much less french/belgian, whatever) as the last one standing you have absorbed their power.

your sword is the magic marker to be wielded with impunity over the slumbering also-rans because you, my friend…are herdcore!!
‘dave’s crazy…’
‘yeah?! how so?!’
‘5 day bender without the -ssistance of meth…poured vodka into chris’ fishtank & drank it dry as he’d ‘run out of mixer’!!’
‘sh-t the f-ck off?!’
‘yeah, apparently he was last seen in the park with a bag of hotdog rolls trying to catch squirrells?!’
‘f-cking herdcore man!!’
a common misspelling of the word “hardcore”, herdcore has developed its own definition as a herd of cattle sitting on a large quant-ty of apple cores, or perhaps the trampled remains of a apple g5.
boeh, ahh tell yew what, me n’ cletus seen a regular herdcore just last teeosday.

herdcore can be permenantly blinding to an apple enthusiast, you know.
