Hardcore, hey...that's funny they don't sound like this at all;
YouTube - Minor Threat - Guilty of Being White
or this
YouTube - Bad Brains - Attitude
"Oh, but that's OLD hardcore", I hear you say. Well let me stop you right there, because here's some NEW hardcore, made right here in the 21st Century (that is to say that hardcore did infact begin in the late 70s and not within the decade) and guess what...
YouTube - Dangers - Power Chord Blues
They sound nothing like Bring Me The Hairstraightener, either!
Well, I guess it's just me hey? Maybe I'm just being delusional and that a band like BMTH, and their contemporaries like Suicide Silence and Carnifex, obviously sound more like hardcore punk both sonically and lyrically (
BUT THEY HAVE BREAKDOWNS!!!) than they do various sub-genres of metal like melodeath, thrash and, loosely, black.
So I really want you to continue your massive rant about how awesome hardcore is because I truly can tell you're obviously quite learned on the subject and would have a lot of insight and, dare I say, guru-like knowledge on the topic at hand.
thread derailed, shit sux.
