What I mean is the term "hardcore" (in relation to music) originated with punk rock in the late 70's. It then developed to a further extreme in the 80's. Bands like Bad Brains, The Misfits, The Exploited are hardcore as I know it. This is metal. No disrespect, just teaching you.

Lol. So, in the 80's the genre stopped evolving and just disappeared altogether? Thanks for the history lesson, professor.

Hardcore is much more than just hardcore punk "like you know it". Bands like Agnostic Front, Sick Of It All, First Blood, Death Before Dishonor and Terror are labelled hardcore as well. Look 'em up for yourself.

Yeah, I know. I've listened to AF and SOIA for over ten years. But the slow chug riffs in this song have no roots in punk rock. And I never said anything about the genre not evolving. The evolution of hardcore has come about through The Casualties, The Unseen, Municipal Waste as well as the cross-over thrash scene. I wasn't giving you an attitude so you don't need to be an ass.

Indeed. And bands like Bad Brains had a major influence on the NYHC scene when they moved to the city back in the early 80's.

Guys, why fight over genres? Haven't you heard of the rant about the irrelevance of arguing over music?
