Hardcore punk

"Defining hardcore is like defining falling in love -- definitions really miss the point. You don't need a definition to know if you're in love or not -- you just know it. You just feel real hardcore when you experience it."

"Hardcore is first and foremost a form of music. That is to say that there are hardcore band s out there that have nothing at all to say, and there are others that have more to say than music to play. Additionally, I believe that there are more more components to hardcore than the other music."

"Hardcore was the suburban American response to the late-seventies punk revolution."
