Positive hardcore (sometimes shortened to posicore or posi-core) is a branch of the hardcore punk music scene that is socially aware or focuses on values such as being inclusive community-oriented and anti-violent. The genre was created as a backlash to the violence and negativity in the straight edge scene.Since the term was coined in the 1980s it has been applied to a divergent group of musical styles and bands including The Wonder Years 7 Seconds Youth of Today and Good Clean Fun.
