HELLO DESPITE WHAT TWITTER AND TIK TOK SAY, HARDCORE IS A VERY DOPE AND REAL COMMUNITY. HARDCORE IS NOT INTERNET DISCOURSE. DIY ETHOS ISN’T DIY IF YOU ONLY TALK SHIT ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS ESSENTIAL HC ALBUM IF U ARE GETTING INTO THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME. START A BAND, MAKE A ZINE, BOOK A SHOW, GO TO A SHOW. ENRICH YOUR COMMUNITY AND ENGAGE COOL SHIT. BEING PASSIONATE AND PRESENT IN LIFE IS AWESOME -HC
I'm gonna rep my scene because I lived out of state for a hot second and now that I'm back I get to rediscover all these incredible bands - Vein.fm and Fuming Mouth were (and still are) big names in the contemporary Boston hardcore scene, and when I was in Western Mass there was Fetal Anomaly (who I cannot find anymore, they might've just been UMass students lol) and Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean (both bands lean a little more death metal). Adrienne broke up last year, but they were incredible as well. And of course, the classics, Converge and Cave In! I also recommend Fiddlehead for something more post-hardcore, like Title Fight-adjacent sounding, one of the members was a friend of mine's chemistry teacher in high school
i think the act of physically feeding someone is really sweet and intimate. it doesn’t even have to be romantic even platonically it’s a very cute gesture pls feed someone :3
