Hardcore punk

Hardcore punk is a fast, energetic genre of punk rock that emerged in the late 1970s, characterized by aggressive music, short songs, and intense lyrics often addressing social and political issues. It emphasizes raw emotion, DIY ethics, and a sense of community among fans and bands. Musically, it features loud, distorted guitars, rapid tempo, and shouted vocals. Lyrically, it tackles topics like anti-authoritarianism, social injustice, and personal struggles. Hardcore punk has influenced many subsequent genres and remains a powerful expression of rebellion and authenticity within the punk movement.
