Hardcore Catergory

gimpnipples	Date: September 17, 2008 @ 11:34 PM Wasnt sure what forum to put this in but anywayyyyyy.... Whats with the Hardcore genre? When I think of hardcore I think of fast techno, gabber, speedcore... people staying up all night on pills etc etc... why does everything I listen to in the hardcore catergory sound like rap music? Is there a form of hiphop called hardcore?
zedsalt	Date: September 18, 2008 @ 3:27 AM Ah, now, see, when I hear the word "hardcore" applied to a musical genre, I think of Punk with a Metal edge...or maybe Metal with a Punk edge. Part of the problem, I think, is the use of the term "hardcore" as an aggrandizer. Used in that sense, one could accurately describe Tiny Tim as a "hardcore revivalist".
Distilled1	Date: September 18, 2008 @ 6:05 AM i^ me too, but in the 90's it seems it became rap/rock, but I notice here its mainly rap... I would think of at the time Limp Biscuit was hardcore.. and changed what it was... but I always thought it more a Metal/punk..

Veracohr	Date: September 18, 2008 @ 9:13 AM Well that was stupid.
NickSawyer	Date: September 19, 2008 @ 10:20 AM I think of hardcore I think of DnB, or crazy loud metal with lots of drums.
Veracohr	Date: September 19, 2008 @ 7:02 PM " id="294671"> Hardcore Even so, it's hard. Take, for instance, the artists that SimonWaldram mentioned. I think of all of those as coming from the punk school. Where as there are more recent artists called "hardcore" by their fans which come from a more metal school, such as Botch, Will Haven, Norma Jean, etc. Then there's electronic hardcore, which is really just a shortened name for "hardcore techno". And let us never again speak of the abomination that is "happy hardcore". Happy hardcore was invented solely for the meth-heads who stay really late at raves. They have too much energy for more reasonable music, and are way too ecstatic for darker-sounding music.
Veracohr	Date: September 19, 2008 @ 7:05 PM Okay, I don't get it. Why does my posting not work? I'm just trying to use the right-arrow character. Does it think I'm trying to end an html tag? Plus, what about the "Preview" button? I pressed it, and it just posted the damned thing. No wonder I don't spend much time here anymore.
vilifiend	Date: September 21, 2008 @ 1:12 PM i always used to expect it to be the hardcore being punk/metal mix, also. that was a long time ago. now i am experienced and jaded with the ways of the hardcore category.
