Hardcore punk (also known as simply hardcore) is a punk rock music genre and subculture that originated in the late 1970s. It is generally faster, harder, and more aggressive than other forms of punk rock.

Hardcore has spawned the straight edge movement and it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
