What is Trendcore?
1.
1. a brand of music that takes hardcore punk and waters it down into an annoying, trendy, plastic, manufactured piece of bubblegum pop. Trendcore often mixes in its mindless brand of punk with metalcore; commonly including occasional grunts and screams in an effort to sound "alternative" or "brutal" or something.
If pop punk is watered-down punk, trendcore is watered-down POP PUNK; twice the pain. Often interchangeable with "emo", this brand of pop is just about the worst thing that's ever happened to music.
Notable bands include:
the Academy Is...
Bayside
Comeback Kid
Fallout Boy
Hellogoodbye
Panic! at the Disco
Rise Against
Silverstein
Spitalfield
I'm sorry, but I HAVE TO turn off Conformo-alternative radio. They've been playing nothing but trendcore for the past three hours.

The act of posing as "goth", "punk", "metal", "hardcore", etc... in order to obtain "street cred" at your school and tarnish the spirit of being an outsider for geeks who orginally listened to good music before everyone blew it up into the ultimate trend everywhere.
Gloria: "Like oh my gawd, Stacey, I can't wait for the cheerleading meet tonight!"
Stacey: "Like yeah! Make sure you bring your My Chemical Romance CD! I can't wait to act like I know what the songs are about and sport my annoying studded belt there!"
Me thinking to myself: "You people are trendcore"
