She even stated that her senior yearbook quote was a lyric from the hardcore band Defeater.
“I super fuck with hardcore music,” Halsey said in the video, a clip from a fan encounter. “I used to promote hardcore shows in Jersey before I started making music… My senior yearbook quote was a Defeater lyric. So you guessed right, I was for sure a hardcore kid.”
