A State of the Hardcore Union Address

I went to a show tonight, the first I've been to in a while. It was kinda sad the way hardcore music has ended up. All of these scenester kids running around trying to act hardcore. Since when were athletic shorts and cut off tshirts scene? Every 12 year old jumps into the pit now, regardless of whether or not it's time to go.

As far as the music goes, anyone can play hardcore, but you're not always hardcore. The intricacies of hardcore were amazing, and now you have simple drum beats, and guitar rifts that leave nothing to enjoy. It's just a barrage of loud noise to assault your ears. Oh well who knows what the future holds for hardcore. Maybe it will take a turn for the better and all of these bands who have potential will get their heads out of their arse.

I think an era has passed and it's time to move on.
