Dunno what you think hardcore is, but here it is known as, let's say, house music on steroids.
in New York, Hardcore is basically music from the street. that is, totally not commercial. on purpose. it's FAST and LOUD and HARD. full of testoserone and rude in the extreme.
which is why i like it.
:-D
i was quoting from an old Agnostic Front song.
Most Hardcore songs tend to be political. altho, Murphy's Law was basically very funny.
it's where "moshing" first started. and THAT term was invented in CGBG's in the 80's by a fellow who's name i have forgotten. and my friend who was there when it was first mentioned has since died. unfortunately.
the exchange went like this:
charlie (my friend): hey, "unknown name", what's that you'er doing? (watching as the guy is gyrating around the floor)
"guy": uh, mmm......oh! Moshing!
charlie: ah! really!
