for those of you who don't know, hardcore is not parkway drive, bring me the horizon, or "insert nu-metalcore band name here."

hardcore comes from punk, not metal. the term hardcore was coined as short for "hardcore punk"

hardcore started in the early 80's edit: "arguably the late 70's w/bad brains ect." with bands like minor threat, black flag. it was just faster and more aggressive punk.
towards the "early" corrected by basterd of young." 80's you had youth crew "youth of today, chain of strength" and crossover thrash like d.r.i. and integrity.

edit: corrected by bastard of young. also in the 80's you had the start of mellodic hardcore like dag nasty.

by the 90's development of modern metallic hardcore like earth crisis, and hatebread, "thank integrity" and your posicore that developed from youth crew, bane, champion.

fastforward to 2000's you have terror which single handedly kept real hardcore alive and brought it to the mainstream. "technically most of their material is metalcore as it is mixed with thrash but early stuff is more punk based."

and there you have it, a quick history on hardcore from my keyboard. i just believe that metal listeners should be aware of what "real" hardcore is. this is only my first post, but let's keep it real.
