you have all week?

I go in and out of being into hardcore drastically. I'm in the latter right now.

Though I still have Bad Brains, Husker Du, and Minutemen on my very unhardcore iPod.

i don't go in and out of hardcore since hardcore (well just punk rock in general) is my favorite kind of music, but sometimes i do go through a week without listening to any hardcore.

i count fugazi a hardcore band just in the terms that they toured and made sure the door prices were down. they don't sound like a hardcore band but they actually practiced what they preached and to me that's makes them more hardcore than bands that play 30 second songs with super speed and charge over ten dollars at the door.

when i was 15-16 i was a little punk skater, and i refused to listen to anything but hardcore and hip hop. gradually, my tastes got more and more broad. but i still consider myself a punk rocker deep down.

i was almost the same way, but i was also into stuff like the stooges and einsturzende neubauten, too.

the ex didn't come from the same scene as fugazi did, but if you want to that doesn't bother me.

I'd say so, but I've gotten into trouble with "purists" for doing so. Which is funny because each of these new genres is usually a reaction to the purists by musicians trying to attain freedom again, and then it ends up with even more compartmentalism.

My all time fave: Minor Threat. My fave most likely to illicit "That's Not Hardcore!" responses (which the best hardcore bands often were trying to get...): Meat Puppets circa first album.

[gualbert]

The Neos ... so good!

[batreleaser]

the ex is definitley not hardcore, theyre early stuff is even much more in line with crass type punk rock than hardcore, now theyre more of a noise punk band. one of my favorites anyways. and yea, while i was a hardcore kid fun house was secretly my favorite record and the velvets were secretly my favorite band (though that hasnt changed except for the secretly part).

yeah, the ex came from a crass anarch punk background, but i don't care if someone calls them hardcore.

funhouse was and still is my favorite stooges record.

I'm a Raw Power kind of guy, but really Raw Power, Funhouse and the s/t are all close to perfection.
