Hardcore historian Steven Blush credits Minor Threat's Ian MacKaye with starting a "die-hard mindset that begat almost everything we now call Hardcore", which was virulently anti-music industry and anti- rock star. An article in Drowned in Sound argues that late 1970s/early 1980s-era hardcore is the true spirit of punk, because "all the poseurs and fashionistas fucked off to the next trend of skinny pink ties with New Romantic haircuts, singing wimpy lyrics" and the punk scene now consisted of people like Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Black Flag, and Circle Jerks, dedicated to DIY ethics. Other writers have also attributed hardcore to a reaction against artsy and mellower sub-genres that punk grew into, such as post-punk and new wave. Hardcore punk additionally broke with original punk rock song patterns and visuals, favoring lower key aesthetics. One definition of the genre is "a form of exceptionally harsh punk rock." Hardcore has been called a faster meaner genre of punk rock, that was a stern refutation against it, being more primal and immediate, with speed and aggression as the starting point." According to Eli Enis of Billboard magazine, hardcore shows are known to be violent. In the vein of earlier punk rock, most hardcore punk bands have followed the traditional singer/guitar/bass/drum format.
The songwriting has more emphasis on rhythm rather than melody. Hardcore was a radical departure from that.īlush writes "The Sex Pistols were still rock'n'roll.like the craziest version of Chuck Berry. Rough gay porn sceaming so liud download#.
