American Hardcore (2006)
Generally unheralded at the time, the early 1980s
hardcore punk rock scene gave birth to much of
the rock music and culture that followed. There would
be no Nirvana, Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili
Peppers were it not for hardcore pioneers such as
Black Flag, Bad Brains and Minor Threat.
Hardcore was more than music -it was a social movement
created by Reagan-era misfit kids.
The participants constituted a tribe unto themselves
—some finding a voice, others an escape in
the hard-edged music. And while some sought a bette
r world, others were just angry and wanted
to raise hell.
AMERICAN HARDCORE traces this lost subculture,
from its early roots in 1980 to its extinction in 1986.
