hardcore appreciation thread

jeph:
Something about hardcore really bugs me, but I'm not sure what it is.

Could be the silly-ass moshpit dancing ("THIS MUSIC ROCKS SO HARD IT MAKES ME WANT TO PUNCH THE FLOOR!!![/B]")

livingthelie:
yes.  your right.  it's so silly.  not nearly as intelligent as say headbanging (which hurts my neck just looking at it). or maybe the "punk rock drunken stumble into the PA".  or how about burning down churches...wait, sorry, that was just norway.

how about we accept the fact that everybody's scene's have things in them we don't particularly understand, and probably never will. 

honestly, i'm NEVER gonna get the industrial scene. 





ever.

KharBevNor:
It's not that hard to understand, really. It's just a load of really left wing people pretending to be robot space nazis.

What's the current opinion on the Dead Kennedys. They still hardcore? Because if so they're probably the hardcore band I most like and respect.


Punk's not dead
It just deserves to die
When it becomes another stale cartoon
A close-minded, self-centered social club
Ideas don't matter, it's who you know
If the music's gotten boring
It's because of the people
Who want everyone to sound the same
Who drive bright people out
Of our so-called scene
'Til all that's left Is just a meaningless fad
Hardcore formulas are dogshit
Change and caring are what's real
Is this a state of mind
Or just another label
The joy and hope of an alternative
Have become its own cliche
A hairstyle's not a lifestyle
Imagine Sid Vicious at 35
Who needs a scene
Scared to love and to feel
Judging everythng
By loud fast rules appeal
Who played last night?
"I don't know, I forgot.
But diving off the stage Was a lot of fun."

livingthelie:
haha.  yeah, i had a really good friend once who was super into industrial.  like, "looked like a rejected matrix extra" into industrial.  he pretty much said the same thing.  just kinda goes over my head, really.

and yeah.  i'd say dead kennedy's are fully in the realm of hardcore.  early hardcore, in the vein of black flag, but definately hardcore.

Will:
If I may add a few album recommendations of my own:

Modern Life Is War - Witness.
American Nightmare (later known as Give Up The Ghost) - Background Music
The Hope Conspiracy - Death Knows Your Name.
Blacklisted - The Beat Goes On

Those are all some straight hardcore albums that really make me happy.
