Hardcore Punk

Hardcore punk (or simply hardcore) is a subgenre of punk rock that originated in North America around 1980. The new sound was generally thicker, heavier and faster than earlier punk rock. The songs are usually short, fast, and loud, covering topics such as politics, personal freedom, violence, social alienation, Straight edge, war, and the hardcore subculture itself.

@ibarfrandomness: yeah it's pretty understandable for rise against, because it's at least some kinda punk rock. there's a guy whining at me that his band is hardcore, when it's only a bunch of metalcore riffs and emo-/screamo-vocals.. that's what i don't understand. people don't know what's hardcore anymore, but why do they keep using the term?

@feedback__: yeah, people don't know anything about genres anymore. only what they read from the internet. a good example is a brainfart who thought he was offering me good death metal when he told me about a band called the black dahlia murder...

Rise Against were at the top because somebody wrote in their wiki that they were a hardcore punk band. That's probably why everybody immediately started tagging them like that. Now somebody edited their wiki, and hardcore isn't their top tag anymore, too.

Atari Teenage Riot is the hardest of all hardcore, much harder than all this shit. But yeah I like that "The Exploited" is here.

When was Rise Against "hardcore punk"? They are about as punk rock as Ron Jeremy...no, wait...Ron Jeremy is pretty punk rock...never mind this shit. Rise Against just fucking suck.

@ ProcneGT: A.F.I. was considered a hardcore punk band till about the album "Sing The Sorrow" and even "Black Sails In The Sunset". They started getting out of the whole hardcore punk style and started doing their own thing. Which isn't bad. I do enjoy Black Sails a lot. It's something new. I would never consider them "emo". Not even close to emo. They just got pulled into the scene and yes, they did pretty much "sell out". They are still a really good band. Also, is there anyone out there that can't stand The Exploited? I can't stand that band or any kind of the "street punk".

AFI was a punk band back in the day, mainly with albums like Answer That and Stay Fashionable (pretty fun album). Then they sold out and went for shitty mainstream emo garbage. RA is also considered Punk, but both of the bands are pushing Hardcore methinks.
