the church was in chatham NJ - this is a video of mouthpiece's set. my friend wound up in the photo that was the cover of mouthpiece's last 7". i was kind of in the background in that photo but you can barely see me. i was in the back bc i'd just had my nose broken and it was still in really bad shape.

when we were driving back to maryland that night, i nodded off at the wheel and nearly killed us.

Keith Morris sang for black flag so that's all you need to know about the circle jerks

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3515577&forum_id=2)#32598282)

Circle Jerks were faster, less serious, less aggressive. Didn't have the chanting or heavy elements you see in bands that identify as hardcore. Sure they can accurately be described as hardcore punk but to the extent hardcore is a genre they are clearly more punk than hardcore. In the same way few people who grew up listening to punk and hardcore would describe DK, descendents and bad religion as hardcore bands. They are punk even hardcore punk but I wouldn't describe any of them as just hardcore.

Kind of rambling and sorry if I'm splitting hairs.

Follow along with Triple B's releases and listen to the Axe to Grind podcast (like sports talk radio, but for hardcore) if you want to get a sense of modern hardcore. Magnitude, Regulate, One Step Closer and Ecostrike (aka EcoSTRIFE) are worth checking out as well.

Big modern hardcore trend I'm not entirely sold on is how nu metal it is. Tons of kids at shows wearing Korn and Slipknot shirts unironically. Vein.fm, Code Orange, Turnstile, and the latter Harm's Way stuff come to mind.

The 2010s were a solid decade where hardcore came back, but with some questionable bells and whistles pulled from nu metal, thrash, and even hip-hop (check out Pillars of Ivory tho, shit rules).

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3515577&forum_id=2)#42935730)

the funny thing is, i thought my generation of hc was terrible because (1) we missed seeing gb, judge, etc by just a few (or in some cases a couple) years and (2) hardcore's sound became very divergent and you had a lot of metal, super melodic bands rather than stuff that you could readily link to minor threat and bad brains. in retrospect, that was a cool thing about the scene then, and i wound up seeing some really great shows. are kids impressed when i tell them i saw endpoint, 4 walls falling, outspoken, etc? probably not, but those shows were really special to me.

Bad Brains - Rock for Light

Earth Crisis - Gomorrah's Season Ends

Converge - Petitioning the Empty Sky

Scream - Still Screaming

Would swap Damaged, Start Today, Break Down the Walls, or Blood, Sweat and No Tears if we're talking about pure influence and significance, but I give Converge extra points for being more original and less comfortably aligned with other parts of the existing hardcore and punk scenes than any of those other bands. Black Flag, GB, YOT and SOIA were all, in some sense, standard bearers/scene leaders and therefore making music that strived to represent the scene consensus at the time. Same could be said of Minor Threat as a standard bearer, but that's why I give Out of Step extra points, as it was a confrontation/refutation of a bunch of the early D.C. hardcore existing ideas about what the music should be and sound like, and really has the seeds of all the rest of the D.C. scene from proto-Emo through Fugazi. Scream I also give extra points for being the direct bridge to Nirvana, even though Grohl joined the band later.

hanging out between baltimore and dc in the 90's was a magical time. discord records always had hot skater chicks doing promotional shit since there was no internet.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3515577&forum_id=2)#42935352)

I think I've told this story on XO before, I saw them play in Texas in like 99 in front of 30 or so people, 2 of whom were preachy vegans that were very disappointed in how poorly their "tabling" efforts before the show were received. We grilled steaks and pregamed with whiskey ahead of time, and I was in the back sitting at a table drinking beers and had my head shaved down to like a 2 guard and was with my buddy who was also shaved down to like a 1. After playing for a solid 90 minutes and giving it every bit as much as they gave any time I saw them on the east coast, the crowd was basically dead and had been standing still most of their set. Then Karl specifically called out "the two skinheads in the back" and gave this speech about how their pit is for everyone when they come to town. I have to admit I was touched, as was the rest of the crowd apparently. And they proceeded immediately to close with the title track from that album and that pit was easily one of the two or three best pits I've ever been in. Just one of those experiences at a show that means you have to love a band forever, even if they objectively kind of suck.

i've posted about this before, but i saw what was supposed to be mouthpiece's last show at middlesex cc in nj in 1996. EC played (which prompted mouthpiece to play a "real" last show so they didn't play their last show with a metalcore shit band). that guy sean mccabe from crud is a cult/ink and dagger threw yogurt at EC and a guy stagedove wearing a fur coat. a big fight broke out. it was hilarious.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3515577&forum_id=2)#42935770)

Imagine if we had cell phones then. I would watch that show with the yogurt (which was a legend I remeber hearing at the time in the 90s) as a youtube video like 10x a day every day for the rest of my life.

i am fb friends with him, and i was in cleveland around xmas a few years ago with my ex wife. i was drunk and bored in the hotel room, and i made a status update that said "RIP ezec, can't believe he's dead." (if you don't know, ezec sings for this band called crown of thornz in addition to having a ridiculous rap "career" and is well known as a DMS "hitman." i think he's killed people).

the two of them hate each other, and i woke up the next morning to rick ta life's status update about ezec dying of a drug overdose, and fuck that piece of shit, etc. i then saw ezec firing shit back at him on instagram. i quickly deleted that status update.

apparently he was stabbed with a screwdriver and nearly killed in the 90s, but he wound up being criminally charged because he beat his assailant almost to death.

the early 90s (when i got into it), in retrospect, was a really interesting time. lots of different styles of music being played. the youth crew bands were fizzling out/kinda still on the scene. shows were essentially how they had been at the start of hardcore, for the most part - held at churches/VFW halls or a very select few clubs (930, safari, tune inn, city gardens, etc.)

do you know that band Unbroken? (from san diego, on new age records). I saw them in DC in 1993 in a tiny club. the guitarist started crying, threw his guitar down and ran off the stage. the singer said "uh, sorry. he's going through some personal stuff..." guy ended up killing himself a few years later.

I've always found the 90s hardcore lore of Rentamerica having a breakdown over worms dying on concrete to be hilarious.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3515577&forum_id=2)#43218744)

"I've heard of this show by two 90s hardcore bands being talked on various message boards that took place in Pittsburgh.

"Rent America are responsible for the most absurd performance I saw of this era. They took awhile to set up, then they literally played a blast beat for like two seconds, and then they were all on the floor crying and rolling and crawling around. No more music was played. Also, the singer made a speech about refusing to use a microphone because it was elitist and placed him above the crowd before they played, so for the two seconds they played he was just yelling into the air. They were just lying on the floor crying for awhile, and then one of them started yelling “the worms…the worms..oh my god…the worms” and made this teary eyed speech about how because of the human race putting concrete and asphalt all over the earth when it rains the worms come out and can’t find their way back to the earth and die in the sun on the concrete. At this point, people just started laughing and the rest of the set was spent by Rent America yelling at the crowd for not taking them seriously and about how it took so much guts to show that emotion in front of a crowd.

After that, Agnes Moraine’s Autobiography played and took forever to set up. The guitarist tuned for 20 minutes, then they played half a song, and he threw his guitar across the room and fell on the floor crying. I walked out at that point."

I missed 90s hardcore, but strangest mix for me was Blood Brothers (pre-recording with Ross Robinson - in their lofi sasscore phase), Christensen (late-era Rev band that was a shameless ATDI rip-off), American Nightmare (top dogs at the time), and Glassjaw (just before the major label album came out). Show was in the upstairs room of the Quest in Minneapolis - a club that used to be owned by Prince and kept all the decor: shitty water fountain, fake trees on the side of the stage, bad murals on the walls. Was shut down years later after the "urban nights" resulted in too many shootings.

shelter, 108, assuck, rorschach and hoover or lincoln (i forget which of those two). totally different sounds. the 90s were pretty much like that - eclectic.
