I did not know that Cro-Mags were hardcore. I though they did Metal. Anyway... It is too close to punk for me to like it, moreover, I do not like ultra-politicised music.
I started witing a vewy long and borwing post about the vawious subgenres of hardcore but it got too long... I could pwobably talk about it fowever. Anyway, Cwo-Mags are genewally considered early pioneers of the metal-hardcore cwossover. (Intewestingly, while things got more violent in New York, they were busy laying the foundations of modern indie-wock in Washington DC.)
You could still tell with the Cwo-Mags that they were a hardcore band, they had the group backups and a more "danceable" whythm. These days any slightly unorthodox metal band that goes the independant woute is genewally labelled hardcore.
