Hardcore and punk was the self-isolating soundtrack to loneliness. Rock n’ Roll was always sold as rebellious outsider music, but the sound of hardcore punk did not permeate from the Mississippi Delta or the ghettos of Oakland. It was purely a suburban bourgeois phenomenon. It wasn’t designed to build any sort of movement. It was created merely to tear it down society at large. With the ethos of “No Future” brought forth by the Sex Pistols, hardcore punk was walking in the door with the blueprint for aural chaos. But how does one tear down society when the scene is so opposed to being a part of it?
To be viewed as “authentic to the culture” one must reject dominant infrastructure, insulating the scene from corruption of our corporate overlords. Thus, the guardians of authenticity become not just gatekeepers of scene, but wardens keeping everyone imprisoned in their own milieu.
