dude this scene is so often overlooked, and its so fucking awesome. butthole surfers, cherubs, fuckemos, etc... these bands took hardcore punk and said fuck you to all the seriousness, politicalness, and straight edgedness of the scene, and were like, well, were gonna do a ton of drugs, and mix punk rock with tons of noise and psychedelia. butthole surfers in particular mustve been such a breath of fresh air when they came around, i mean as amazing as hardcore was, it was so strict, short songs, play fast, short hair, and then the buttholes came along and just fucked everything up. lets appreciate these weird little bands from this weird little scene, long live buttholes, cherubs, and fuckemos! (early flaming lips too but unforunatly theyre not from texas)
