Hardcore is still around and kicking, you just have to go out and find it. Cloud Rat is one example...I've seen them a couple of times. To me there is hardcore punk and hardcore. Hardcore punk is way better with hardcore still just being bro beatdown shit with idiot kids in the pit windmilling their arms into peoples faces....not cool. Kind of like nu metal meets punk. Hardcore punk having very little breakdowns with brutal vocals and speed...more of an evolution of punk. Some of the best original hardcore punk was from the finnish and swedish crews back in the 80's.

Seriously, people use the term "hardcore" to refer to so many different things, it kind of loses its meaning. When I hear it, I think of that 80's harder/faster/louder evolution of the original "punk rock" sound. And I do appreciate the Scandinavian and Japanese bands of that era more than the US ones... US hardcore tends to be a bit too "tough" for my tastes...

But yeah, it's cool to see another Cloud Rat fan on here. I missed them the last few times they came through, finally caught them on their tour this past spring and it was v good! I really dig what they are doing combining grindcore/hardcore/screamo/etc into something that's pretty uniquely theirs, and they're super prolific, like every time I look they're putting out another record...

I want to hear some brutality, breakdowns angst and hatred. Pure anger. Lol. Helps get it out. I think that's what we're after in this thread ;)
Of coarse bands such as bad brains, black flag, minor threat, germs etc etc paved the way and to whom I owe great gratitude.

Little history lesson for ya
Ler Lalonde from primus was in this band when he was 17, arguably pioneers in death metal, (1985) paving the way for other genres like hardcore.
Enjoy ;)
