Overview

Angrier and less pretentious than the drug-addled punk and new wave music genres, hardcore was an underground tribal movement created with passion but ultimately destroyed by infighting and dissonance. Hardcore's legacy, however, continues to influence the do-it-yourself anticommercial trend of independent record labels and touring networks, and has produced or influenced some of the most popular and influential of contemporary musicians. In this comprehensive look at the music and culture behind the legacy, Blush blends his own first hand experience of the hardcore scene with countless interviews, famous and rare photographs, as well as complete discographies to make the perfect collection for the avid fan or the curious listener.
