Why do you all associate the straightedge, vegan, etc with 90's hardcore as a whole. The fashion, the shows, the styles are spot on, but I guess I was too close to the big, bad, tough guy, NYHC, thug type of hardcore (Etown Concrete, Madball, Orange 9mm, NJ Bloodline, VOD) to notice. The vegan, whining about earthworms, political activist, emo-type hardcore was nowhere to be found.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204753642588780917.post-83957829839715753662011-09-18T14:59:15.449-07:002011-09-18T14:59:15.449-07:00oh man. brought back some memories. i remember bei...oh man. brought back some memories. i remember being drunk as fuck arguing with the brothers keeper singer at a show in maryland.

While I was mostly more into the crusty / grindy / powerviolence-y side of things, I did also travel in the Ebullition / No Fun Club circles. I had a tiiiiite Spitboy shirt. "Fuck YOU mom and school! I have a t-shirt with titties on it!"<br /><br />Anyway, all I really have to add to this is: <br /><br />"[Powerviolence is] the music that really drew me in during that early- to mid-'90s black spot of DIY hardcore, when faux humanism, tolerance for morons, celebrations of inadequacies and screen printed manila envelopes were de rigueur." -- Andy Nolan, The Endless BlockadeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204753642588780917.post-33975623233233134732011-04-18T09:25:00.292-07:002011-04-18T09:25:00.292-07:00This is great.

When dealing with the NFC, one must point out the correlation that the more militant/preachy/hypocritical hardline dudes got, the more money their parents had. <br /><br />I remember hearing stories of one of the kids from XRacetraitorX making his pops re-cover the seats in his Lexus because the dumb old man had actually bought him a $60k car with leather seats. What a dick.<br /><br />...and what about Catharsis? You gotta love a dude who's family has more money than god telling you that you're a piece of shit if you have a job. haha<br /><br />It's funny, being poor always made me feel kind of out of place in the 90's hardcore scene.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204753642588780917.post-61914574356201492462011-01-07T16:06:32.692-08:002011-01-07T16:06:32.692-08:00Glad I am too young to have experienced the NFC, b...Glad I am too young to have experienced the NFC, but unfortunately it seem FSU has taken up their mantle.

Brought back some memories. That particular Shirt James helped design for the short west coast tour of Excessive Force that he and I went on with them as "roadies" I guess. Even back then which was right as 18 Visions (the full name was 18 Visions of the Apocalypse, but they shortened it) was forming and had just recorded their first demo, James always said he would rather play in a Rock band than a Hardcore band. He often joked that he was a rocker playing death metal in a hardcore band. I had a great time that summer with Excessive Force, hanging out with James and the guys from Lifeless and Clear in SLC (who were also part of the tour).
