christthetiger yeah i don't know toooo much about hardcore I was into early UK Oi! and UK82 which wasn't / isn't being represented out here much. I've only recently been catching up with the music a lot of my friends have been into over all the years.

Why say there are plenty of amazing bands these days (which there aren't btw) then use a band who have split up as an example. It died a long time ago. Aaaaand, please dont describe hardcore as breakdowns and screaming and stuff and that. It stands for so much more.

agreed.
shouting yes
screaming - errrr no.

doesnt need to have chugga chugga riffs in either.

the problem for me is that i cant see any hardcore bands forming now that will sound better than whats come before (with a very few exceptions). motivation for kids is totally different now so they arent passionette to the same extremes as they used to be and as a music form hardcore is pretty limited. (used to refers to the 80's not the rivival that happened to the hardcore scene 6years ago and caused loadsa bands to cash in on multiple reunion tours)

does it? lol. i shouldnt have called you faggott. but its ususally someone trying to sound cool when they say hardcore is dead.
the boston hardcore is alive bro.

they are plenty of hardcore bands that are keeoing it alive. i agree. gorilla bisquits, straight ahead, of course those are the pioneers. but to say hardcore ended with them is ignorant. im sure if you were to ask those bands, has hardcore died? they might agree that it has become more commercial, just like anything. take a look at dubstep for example.

anyways. i respect your opinion.

you seem to miss the point that i was making.
hardcore is a very narrow genre with little room for innovation and meaning for it to be good it would have to be really good as very little will sound original. currently the motivations for kids/guys making bands is very different to the 80's (ie they arent angry enough or pissed off enough) and in a genre that is so crucially infused with passion if the motivations arent there it ends up sounding half hearted and wishwashy (let alone boring and samey). i love hardcore, i wouldnt say thats its actually dead but as there is so little room for progression the chances of anythign quite so good coming out is very slim.
to say hardcore continues to flourish is ignorant and ultimately you are only in denial, understandably its about something you love and i know i used to say the same but you will eventually smell the coffee.

[rbnc]

What I find with hardcore, is the genre is so defined and moulded that to stick out, a lot of bands try and be original using their iconography, name and image and shit and then consequentially become a band based on aesthetic, which is basically not what hardcore is supposed to be about.
