Hardcore Punk

Hardcore Punk is a subgenre of Punk Rock which originated in North America in the late 70's. The sound is thicker, heavier, and faster than 1970s-style Punk Rock. It is characterized by short, loud, and passionate songs.

It was call Punk at first and not Punk Rock as classic Punk was called. In the ealy 80's it was called Hardcore Punk

Hardcore Punk started in L.A with the band Black Flag and in D.C with the band Minor Threat and Bad Brains; which are the big three bands of early Hardcore Punk.

In the 90's heavy metal bands tried to get into Hardcore with out being Punk. Which is not Hardcore at all. The Hardcore movent and sound is still Punk and always will be. Metalcore is metal music not Hardcore Punk. There is still Harcore Punk bands around today, and that are not metal bands claiming to be Hardcore with out being Punk. A few of them are,

The Casualties
Cheap Sex
Devotchka
Dropkick Murphys
Lower Class Brats
No Use For A Name
Pennywise
Rise Against
Suicide Machines
The Unseen
And more.

Long Haired Punk

A long haired punk is used to describe a long haired male in the modern punk rock culture. A long haired punk is considered the " black sheep" of the modern punk culture. He makes his own clothes is very pro DIY and choses to grow his hair out long instead of cutting it and getting a Mohawk. A long haired punk won't give a shit If you think he's a poser, because while your dyeing your hair pink he will be out thrashing in the mosh pit. Long haired punks are major hardcore no matter how fast they come into the scene, and and should be respected.

Brian Baker- Minor Threat, Bad Religion

The Ramones. All of them.
