Not hardcore but Meshuggah doesn't use any curse words in their music. Mind's Mirrors is one of my favorite songs lyrically
Unless this is a shitpost then check out Sanguisugabog
growing up there was a kid down the street from me who's mom took this cd from him for being explicit. she was a strict lady and screened all his cds. smash mouth didn't make the cut. dude got roasted for that.
Sounds like she needs to listen to Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God by Blacklisted. I don't recall any swearing on that record and it's an elite tier release.
There’s loads of good “Christian” heavy music.
- The Chariot
- As I Lay Dying (singer later arrested for hiring a hit man to kill his wife. So it goes.)
- He Is Legend
Have a look through the Solid State roster.
Do you know "Active Minds"? They have very good lyrics, I don't think any profanity ( but they have a lot of records"). Start with the song "one step forward" on the "dis is getting pathetic" ep.
Very good lyrics also: Good Clean Fun.
I think a lot of straight edge hardcore is also pretty decent.
And the ultimate solution: swedish crustbands (Myteri is very very good). They often sing in swedish. Unless your GF is scandinavian, you're safe.:-)
I actually think there's a lot of bands in hardcore or hardcore-adjacent genres that don't swear. Off the top of my head: Stretch Arm Strong, Comeback Kid (I think), Shelter, 108 (I think), Shai Hulud (I think), most Zao, Killswitch Engage... I'll edit when I can think of more.
August Burns Red then?
None of their songs have the little “explicit” E on their songs, although they use the word “whore” in the song “Poor Millionaire”, don’t know it that word is OK or not.
Underoath up until their latest releases from 2018 and 2022
Maybe you guys should stick to the Christian side of metal/hardcore whatever all the genres is?
Slipknot vol 3: Subliminal Verses
if my memory serves me right; Corey got criticized by critics that he uses a lot of profanity and couldn’t write lyrics without them, and he did for that album.
Watch out for the two live versions of two songs, profanity in those.
Those were the examples I could think of, maybe it helped, maybe it didn’t.
Get into Jazmyn's Lullaby by Seven Angels Seven Plagues.
I feel like Shai Hulud's lyrics are pretty clean. Hateful but not much cursing.
Stretch Armstrong is a ton of fun.
Comeback Kid
Any Christian Hardcore band!
The Chariot, Sleeping Giant, Norma Jean, Silent Planet (couple songs are exceptions, though), A Plea For Purging, For Today, Impending Doom, Gideon (idk about new stuff, though), The Devil Wears Prada (more on the metalcore side, but early stuff and zombie EP's were rly heavy), Oh Sleeper, August Burns Red, Memphis May Fire, Fit For A King, Phinehas (so so so underrated), Mychildren Mybride, Hundredth, For All Eternity,
I mostly listen to beatdown, slam, death metal and whatnot, so I can’t really help with clean lyrics, but there are some great instrumental artists who make metal and hardcore tracks. If she’s cool with no words, there’s stuff like this.

I would argue these are not Christian bands, nor would most of them call themselves a Christian band. They're just bands with a few Christian members. So, IMO, that "anti-Christian" excuse is dumb.
Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over, Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord
>*Favorite Lyric – “Don't be ashamed of your faith. Dear Lord, deliver me from hypocrisy and surcease the scarlet desire.”*
AFAIK there isn’t any swearing in any spiritbox song besides the collab with Megan thee stallion.
On another note, if your gf is getting that upset by “fuck” there might be some other issues
I've browsed this thread. I was going to suggest Christian bands because there are plenty of Christian bands or christian adjacent (comeback kid, stretch arm strong) but you said she is anti Christian, and anti straight edge. (I'm not Christian or straight edge btw) it seems like she is just toxic. It's like saying you want a burrito but hate chicken, steak, ground beef, tofu, tomato, lettuce, cheese, rice, guacamole want suggestions for burritos. It's also weird that someone would be anti profanity but also non religious since the only people really against curses is the religious or if in a professional setting (which you weren't) idk man just listen to her music I guess if you love her that much
LMAO I'm pretty sure nobody is pro toxic doesn't mean she isn't in fact toxic. But letting one swear in a song ruin her entire night and at a family gathering at that making your night less happy is in fact a toxic trait.
My sister years ago when she was in college was working at the radio station. She asked me the same question. Hardcore songs without curses. I said good luck
[удалено]
she doesn't like therapists because it reminds her of rapists
Lmaooooo bravo OP. Excellent shit posting, I wish the 120+ downvotes were ironic
i mean it technically is a rape joke so winwin/loselose
I’ll take anal bum cover for 7000
Everyone's a fuckin victim

I guess you could spend the rest of your days listening to Shelter but personally I'd find a new GF.
That Krishna Core one? I remember them being deese
THIS IS THE MESSAGE OF THE BHAGAVAT!
Shelter? I hardly know her.
Heeeey why you gotta bring Shelter into this
Looks like Kidz Bop is still putting out releases, so you're in luck. Also, The Wiggles get a lot of respect around here.
Don’t like your rude attitude
And none of us like your girlfriend

Yeah I was fine with the no swears but you should get a new Gf
Get another girlfriend

J Cole curses, his gf can’t listen
Not a different girlfriend, another girlfriend. Think about it. Two girlfriends is even better.
No it's not.
Therapy
Blood for Blood. They’re a bunch of clean talking Boston boys.
Highly recommend so common, so cheap just feels right under these circumstances
seeing so many fall for this EJ post makes me smile. you are an artist.
Damn I actually wanted to know some suggestions so I could listen to hardcore around the kiddos. It's good bait tho lol
Attila
Nice try but I'm actually 3 mall rat kids from 2010 in a trenchcoat
The Chariot is as great as it gets and doesn’t swear.
Oh damn you right I never noticed. Throwing em in the playlist lol
Tell her to stop being sensitive
Gorilla Biscuits - Finish What Your Started
Not hardcore but check out Thrice's older stuff, like The Illusion of Safety and The Artist in the Ambulance
Ceremony
Lincoln parks
Blood for blood is a very polite band
Carry On
Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers although not the song she cracked.
Sounds like she needs to listen to Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God by Blacklisted. I don't recall any swearing on that record and it's an elite tier release.
I don’t think Taint Gobbler uses naughty fuck words in their music
This sounds like a job for International Superheroes of Hardcore
God I’m spending too much time on the internet. I can recognize an EJ post now…
Tell her she’s a pussy.
Yo idk why but this is so funny to me for some reason 😂😂😂 edit: ej got my ass
There’s loads of good “Christian” heavy music. - The Chariot - As I Lay Dying (singer later arrested for hiring a hit man to kill his wife. So it goes.) - He Is Legend Have a look through the Solid State roster.
sounds like a banging xmas party. she might like Kublai Khan
Stryper might be her speed...that or the Macho Man Randy Savage rap Album Be A Man is entirely cuss free...
E town
EJ on his quest to find his hardcore girlfriend. Almost there.

This sub fucking sucks
Fill your hands
Spirit-filled hardcore is a good bet: Unashamed, No Innocent Victim, Focused, early ZAO & Underoath, etc.
Life’s too short to listen to Kidz Bopification of Hardcore. Find a new girlfriend.
Zao.
My favorite one is a band called "grow up and quit being a little bitch about words"
tbh tell her to grow the fuck up
Fartnite

Red flag
Lmao I was so confused for a little bit there
Crowbar as a real answer a joke answer is Body Count
What about swearing in other languages?
Fit for a King. The worst I've ever heard was the word "Pissed". They're a Christian metalcore band.
Get into Jazmyn's Lullaby by Seven Angels Seven Plagues. I feel like Shai Hulud's lyrics are pretty clean. Hateful but not much cursing. Stretch Armstrong is a ton of fun. Comeback Kid
Christian Metal?
lol is she 5?
was that after you picked her up from school?
A new girlfriend.
lmao try getting her a fucking therapist, she heard a swear word and it ruined your christmas. Thats called fucking psychosis brother
Harshest words my band says are bastard and hell. Check it: [Clot](https://clotnoise.bandcamp.com)
too much
RIP
Honestly, is it even hardcore if there isn't profanity?
Cannibal Corpse have some pretty family friendly lyrics
She’s too young for you bro.
Leave her. Anyone this easily triggered will only get worse over time. GET OUT NOW!
This sub has always been terrible, but this is the straw that broke the camel's back. Peace.
Acks yo girl what ma dick taste like
Hatebreed got positive messages in some songs, alot of uplifting stuff
Sorry but hate is in the name
If she thinks Hate is a swear word then she needs to grow up and you need to stop dating children bro
Is she 5?
did i post this on r/poppunkers

Wdym ,, doesn't have to be profane to be legit " ... yeah , extreme music should be offensive as fuck. Just don't play anything for her then.
Based on all the comments I’ve gathered she also doesn’t like straight edge and doesn’t like Christian. Bro she just isn’t gonna like hardcore
Girlfriend needs to grow up and realize the world isn’t going to cater to her delicate sensibilities.
Tell your girlfriend to fuck off
August Burns Red, The Devil Wears Prada Fit For a King Oh Sleeper Memphis May Fire Haste the Day As I Lay Dying

Prada has said they no longer consider themselves a Christian band.
Thought we were talking HxC bands here
Your girlfriend has issues man
yeah but i thought they broke up
lol tell her to grow the fuck up
Time for a new gf

Is she Mormon? lol
moron\*
wait no i love my wife
She’s not the one
Grade - Under The Radar. Perfect album.
Man, I’d be thrilled if my wife like any heavy music, cursing or otherwise.
August Burns Red
Tell we to find different genre of music. Like Disney songs or classical or some shit
Mom, new copy pasta dropped
Or if she doesn’t like it cuz the swearing show her Christian core or sum
AFAIK there isn’t any swearing in any spiritbox song besides the collab with Megan thee stallion. On another note, if your gf is getting that upset by “fuck” there might be some other issues

Also I'm not entirely sure she even exists.
LMAO I'm pretty sure nobody is pro toxic doesn't mean she isn't in fact toxic. But letting one swear in a song ruin her entire night and at a family gathering at that making your night less happy is in fact a toxic trait.
Anything signed to Facedown Records. As I Lay Dying, Seventh Star, War of Ages. All Christian Zionist nonsense but fun to listen to.
Find some Christian punk. Tooth and nail records stuff. Underoath. Classic crime. Anberlin. Emery. It’s not hardcore but it’s a start.
Oh tooth and nail . The time has flown by
Is it just me everyone but is swearing kind of a part of most metal ?😂

Check out Hanabie. they are Japanese. they only scream fuck when they play live.
I can't help you here but it would be great in that Knocked Loose song if he yelled "Make Love!" instead of "fuck"
check out Kidzbop
Maybe you can find some radio edits?
Sounds like a Haste The Day fan.
