Or in other words: I dislike metalcore and punk/metalcore bands more than pop punk bands.

To me, bands like Agnostic Front or Sick Of It All never had been hardcore punk somehow. They seem to me as if they were just trying to be masculine and tough. Of course aggression is an essential part of punk, especially hardcore punk. But the spirit of this whole protest and punk thing rather gets me with bands like Minor Threat, or the Bad Brains.

to me, hardcore punk bands are band like: dead kennedy, reagan youth, dayglo abortions, die kreuzen, jerry's kids, toxic reasons, etc AFi?, Rise against??, it's a joke right? Hatebreed is more like a metal band. This tag is HARDCORE PUNK, it is not metalcore, NYHC, hardcore, punk, punk rock, pop punk, emo shit and stuff like these. In conclusion, tags in last fm sucks!!!
