Long Island Hardcore

I grew up in long island. I don't think there was really much of a hardcore scene persay in the long island area. It was mostly about NYC. It wasn't untill the mid-90's when I started seeing people with "LIHC" tshirts and whatnot and more and more bands generating an actual long island scene. Hardcore really changed at that point. That was when the tide was turning. You saw nothing but 16 year old kids with acne wearing baggy pants and acting like eminem like all the white teenagers in america still do now more than ever. The style was also becoming a bit more metalized. Totally different crowd and atmosphere also. Where as in the past, when you went to a hardcore show you'd see guys that look like they just got out of san quinten. That's also when the whole spin kicking style of dancing started to dominate as well. Now it's spread so far across the country, people in wyoming and wisconsin are doin it too.

Silent Majority was the only long island hardcore band I ever got in to.
