Hardcore Dancing

Haha harcore...homocore..queercore blahdy blahdy blah. Stupid ass cult, and their dancing techniques. They are there to police the shows! Sorry last I checked I went to punk shows in Austin because maybe that was a place where I would lease be oppressed by anything. Like teachers, cops. I wouldn't wanna bunch of meat heads dancing around like prick ass balerinas (sp?) policing anyhting I WENT to. Just a bunch of people at the show could grab the guy and throw his ass in the back, I mean that what i've seen and grown accustomed to. Oh and the music sucks. I though hardcore was like 7 seconds, and like minor threat and shit. not some guy in his sisters pants or the dude who just got an honourable discharge from the army and takes it out on a 14 y/o at some shitty over priced show with shitty bands.

and anyway if it doesn't have a horn section it ai'nt shit.

chances are the kids who wear there sisters pants to shows don't know a lick about hardcore...

Its like the movie SLC Punk! when Stevo is in the mall and is talking about punk rock in the 80's in Salt Lake City and he goes to explain the difference between punks and posers... " Posers are people who look like punks but they did it for fashion... and they were fools they'd say shit like... ''Anarchy in the UK'"

... well there are a lot of posers in this scene, probably more posers then there are true hardcore kids, and we have the pop culture to blame, they came in and started signing bands, made them sign contracts, ruining their music. AFI is a perfect example... they were originally a east coast hardcore band, and a very good one at that. But then they were bought by a label completely changed their music, called them emo, and made them suck and then 6 years down the road the record labels saw money to be made in this hardcore thing so nowadays you can all of the sudden get hoodies from AFI that say east coast hardcore on them, despite the fact they are in no way hardcore anymore! (hence why Anti-Flag has a song named "Davy destroyed the punk scene", its about Davy Havoc from AFI)

My point being, the way you are perceiving this scene from the outside looking in is creating a biased view, I remember when i first heard hardcore music, i didn't even like the sound of it, but once you go to shows and you come familiar with the hardcore community it grows on you!

In my opinion, I really don't like the newer hardcore. I hate how it has changed from good stuff like Black Flag and Bad Brains to With Honor and CDC. There are still some good hardcore bands around like Common Enemy and Caustic Christ, but they are rare.

Yea the older stuff is the best, justs as it is with most music, its raw and untainted by corporate media!

I just don't get where the dancing came in. I love going to hardcore shows and being in circle pits and push pits, not waiting for a breakdown and punching the air.

When my friends and i went to the extreem steel tour, (slayer, static x, pantera, morbid angle, and scrape) while we were walking in there were some young kids in front of us, and we could hear them talking. one said "do you think the pit is going to be nuts?" he freind answerd "not like the bush show, these guys are old and no one will pit to this kind of music." what a treat slayer had in store for them. The entire floor at the worchester centrum looked like a swirling vortex of pain. nevermind when pantera playes hostile.

I love plowing dancers into hords of people, and those kids probley never went to another slayer show again or never went to another poser bush pit again.:pimp: :pimp:

Yeah hardcore horns hahah check this out main youll like the slide trombon at the end YouTube - Soulfly- innerspirit :pimp:

These pits at these shows are a lot different than I am used to. I go to a lot of hardcore "punk" shows or psychobilly or ska/punk shows and the pits are way different.
I would say what bands but I dont feel liking typing that much tonight.
