if you werent playing hardcore about 10 or 15 years ago, then you arent hardcore.

I agree with this statement. Hardcore is an offshoot of punk rock. The End. People in tight pants with shitty faux-Suffocation riffs, please stop.

Hardcore was what came out of people who had their roots stretching somewhere between the punk rock and metal scenes. When it comes to hardcore, defining the lines between the styles have always been blurry, but get more and more so with every passing year and new trends within these scenes. I'm a libra- I'm indecisive, I get bored with the same flavor day in / day out- that's why I expose myself to a wide variety of everything. I can never be satisfied with one favorite this or that. I like punk (in limited doses) but have a huge preference for metal- this is probably where I get my taste for hardcore (again, not ALL of it, but there are certain bands within the category that really do get me going: Converge, Death Before Dishonor, Death Threat and Throwdown for examples, and some Agnostic Front even though that band has changed so much over the years... but anyway, that's a debate for some other time/place). Newer bands claiming to be hardcore usually aren't very close to it at all musically speaking but use the label for the exact reason noted by Yeti, lack of any other understood label. Labels are frequently misleading anyway. Aside from that, labels are often used to denote a lifestyle that goes beyond the music itself. What we saw last Friday was not a "hardcore" scene, no doubt about it. It was straight up metal in attitude and personality- no matter how you want to classify the bands' individual sounds. Everyone there was pretty likeminded and seemed to be on the same page regardless of who preferred which band or what style. I have plenty of bruises from the pit to prove everyone was having fun.
So anyway, does anyone else think we need to get off this subject since that was last weekend. What's everyone doing this weekend? Anyone else going to Suffucation / Decapitated?
