How Many People


How Many People Can Listen to Punk (Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, Rise Against, ect) and Modern Day hardcore (Alexisonfire, Atreyu, Underoath ect.) I'm just interested to see how many people do, I know I do, but I'm interested in hearing some voices on this.

bad examples of modern day hardcore
they are far from hardcore they are fringe bollocks

but for modern hardcore i do listen to stuff like raised fist, f-minus, straight faced, five knuckle and good clean fun

reply

Yeah good call, I was wrong, the stuff i listed above is more post-hardcore/metalcore.

reply

yeah but thats what people these days think hardcore is...

It really depends on how you look at it. Bands that call themselves "hardcore" today sound nothing like the bands covered in the documentary or the original genre.

It's a completely different genre of music. It's like comparing the 80's hardcore bands to the original 70's punk bands. Unfortunately, you can't get much cooler sounding than "hardcore". That's why bands grab ahold of the label and wont let go rather than evolving into their own genre that than trying to duplicate what has already come and gone.

reply

they used that label because the music was in fact hardcore sounding. the ramones, germs all sounded like pansies compared to the aggression of minor threat, ssd.

The Church of Samuel L. Jackson and Latter day Snakes
