Christian hardcore
or
Christcore
is a subcategory of
hardcore punk
bands which promote

Christian hardcore can serve as an unconventional form of religious community for young people who reject mainstream Christian congregations.
[1]
Fans of Christian hardcore music are not exclusively believers in the Christian religion. Owing to innovation in the hardcore movement such as
Extol
,
Nobody Special
,
Zao
,
Living Sacrifice
, and the hardcore movement in general, the audience has become less exclusive.
