===Fashion===
Many North American hardcore punk fans adopted a dressed-down style of [[T-shirt]]s, [[jeans]] or work [[Chino cloth|chinos]], [[combat boot]]s or [[sneakers]], and [[crew cut]]-style haircuts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gq.com/story/turnstile-hardcore-concert-style|title=Here's What Kids Wore to See the New Reigning Kings of Hardcore|date=October 31, 2016}}</ref> Women in the hardcore scene typically wore army pants, band T-shirts and hooded sweatshirts.<ref name="BrockmeierxDUO p. 12">{{cite web |url=https://www.duo.uio.no/bitstream/handle/10852/26264/BrockmeierxDUO.pdf?sequence=1 |title=Archived copy |access-date=May 20, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102213941/https://www.duo.uio.no/bitstream/handle/10852/26264/BrockmeierxDUO.pdf?sequence=1 |archive-date=November 2, 2013 }} Brockmeier, Siri C., ''"Not Just Boys' Fun?": The Gendered Experience of American Hardcore'', MA Thesis in American Studies Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages ILOS (Universitet I Oslo, 2009) p. 12</ref> The clothing style was a reflection of hardcore ideology, which included dissatisfaction with suburban America and the hypocrisy of American culture.

The style of the 1980s hardcore scene contrasted with the more provocative fashion styles of late 1970s punk rockers. Siri C. Brockmeier writes that "hardcore kids do not look like punks", since hardcore scene members wore basic clothing and short haircuts, in contrast to the "embellished leather jackets and pants" worn in the punk scene.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.duo.uio.no/bitstream/handle/10852/26264/BrockmeierxDUO.pdf?sequence=1 |title=Archived copy |access-date=May 20, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102213941/https://www.duo.uio.no/bitstream/handle/10852/26264/BrockmeierxDUO.pdf?sequence=1 |archive-date=November 2, 2013 }} p. 11</ref> Lauraine Leblanc, however, claims that the standard hardcore punk clothing and styles included torn jeans, leather jackets, spiked armbands, dog collars, [[mohawk hairstyle]]s, DIY ornamentation of clothes with studs, painted band names, political statements, and patches.<ref>Leblanc, Lauraine, ''Pretty in Punk: Girls' Gender Resistance in a Boys' Subculture''.

Travis and Perry Hardy describe the look that was common in the San Francisco hardcore scene as consisting of biker-style leather jackets, chains, studded wristbands, multiple piercings, painted or tattooed statements (e.g., an anarchy symbol) and hairstyles ranging from military-style haircuts dyed black or blonde to mohawks and shaved heads.<ref>Travis, Tiffini A. and Perry Hardy, ''Skinheads: A Guide to an American Subculture'' (ABC-CLIO, 2012), p. 123 (section entitled "From San Francisco Hardcore Punks to Skinheads")</ref>

[[Circle Jerks]] frontman [[Keith Morris]] wrote: "[Punk] was basically based on English fashion. But we had nothing to do with that. Black Flag and the Circle Jerks were so far from that. We looked like the kid who worked at the gas station or sub. shop."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.citizinemag.com/music/music-0303_kmorris.htm |title=CITIZINE Interview – Circle Jerks' Keith Morris (Black Flag, Diabetes) |publisher=Citizinemag.com |date=February 17, 2003 |access-date=December 4, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111006082011/http://www.citizinemag.com/music/music-0303_kmorris.htm |archive-date=October 6, 2011 }}</ref> [[Henry Rollins]] stated that for him, getting dressed up meant putting on a black shirt and some dark pants; taking an interest in fashion as being a distraction.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://m.complex.com/style/2013/04/29-things-you-didnt-know-about-punk-style/hardcore-punk |title=Hardcore Punk &#124; Complex |work=Complex |publisher=M.complex.com |access-date=August 20, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103052848/http://m.complex.com/style/2013/04/29-things-you-didnt-know-about-punk-style/hardcore-punk |archive-date=November 3, 2013 }}</ref> [[Jimmy Gestapo]] from [[Murphy's Law (band)|Murphy's Law]] describes his own transition from dressing in a punk style (spiked hair and a bondage belt) to adopting a hardcore style (shaved head and boots) as being based on needing more functional clothing.<ref name="BrockmeierxDUO p. 12"/>
