Hardline is a subculture where people express themselves through their clothing and appearance. It originated in the 1980s and has its roots in punk fashion. People in this subculture usually wear jeans with studs and patches, and often add colorful accessories and tattoos. They may also have unusual haircuts or hairstyles and piercings. The look is meant to be rebellious and tough, and it's intended to make a statement against mainstream society.
