i've always thought boysetsfire was one of the best political hardcore bands out there (even if they are post-hardcore)

I don't really consider post-hardcore to be part of hardcore. That band sounds more like old-school emo too me.

[The Douche]

Oh, this kind of hardcore. :(

[Ermo Kruus]

I enjoy all kinds of old hardcore, but my heart really lays with continental European hardcore (especially Swedish, Finnish, Yugoslavia and Italian) and Japanese. I've always thought the British mostly made uninspiring hardcore (except from Discharge and Disorder), also, they were mostly very slow compared to their contemporaries. I would say the Swedes really pioneered d-beat when they speeded it up and added some more brutality to it. Anyway, hardcore is one of those really interesting genres since like every country had it's own scene in the 1980s, but also because they often had their own specific sound going on. Exploring the old hardcore scenes from the more unusual countries is a lifelong hobby of mine. Anyway, enough nerding for now!

[TheRedAnarchist23]

Does power metal count as hardcore?

yeah, they pretty much happened on the cusp of where PHC started becoming emo, before "modern emo" happened.

Did you think I meant dance music? That stuffs cool too.

Could you recommend some old-school Swedish hardcore?

Not at all.

No, I just wasn't expecting dbeat, powerviolence, grind, and crust. I was expecting youth crew, beatdown, NYHC, and that kind of stuff.

[La Guaneña]

Dutch commie hardcore is always related.

What the hell is going on in the last video?

[Conflict]

I love the UKHC scene of the 80s with bands like Extreme Noise Terror, Doom, Intense Degree and Dr And The Crippins.

@psycho

Its a track by a famous gabber hardcore dj who made a hip-hop album, its a ironic/nostalgic lyrics about the "good old days" of gabber..

[Zukunftsmusik]

No, I just wasn't expecting dbeat, powerviolence, grind, and crust. I was expecting youth crew, beatdown, NYHC, and that kind of stuff.

I thought you meant some completely different type of hardcore

[NoOneIsIllegal]

Sometimes "Hardcore" is used in a very broad, and narrow way. Usually people mean Terror, Comeback Kid, In My Eyes, and so forth. I'll do the opposite and use it in an all encompassing way, like it was "back in da day." A lot of bands don't like using all these tiny genre-names and just claimed they were playing "hardcore"

I'm surprised people who like more old-school style hardcore don't also like crust and grind. I'd thought they'd have more or less the same audience.
