I was in the shower this morning and I think if I was to start a band, it'd have to be a hardliner hXc band. Even came up with the name (if it hasn't been taken already): A Call For Blood.

I was thinking that the scope of the songs would be centered around hardline straight edge and animal rights philosophy, kinda like Earth Crisis and Buried Alive. After writing the_other_keith a comment in his journal concerning the hardcore scene in Colorado, I got to thinking about the direction the hardcore scene is going.

True hardcore kids are few and far between or we're just getting old. I see all these fashion-core kids and it sickens me because they are a total 180 from all the progress that was made years before their births. They don't believe in anything and are a direct product of the capitalization of punk rock and even the metrosexuality fad. Punk is not punk anymore and neither is what is considered hardcore.

I remember I got into punk rock because of the message and urgency, and eventually I got into hardcore because of the focus of things that truly mattered: friends, family, and self. Punk led me to point fingers at everything but didn't solve anything, nor did it present any kind of solution, just nihilistic hopelessness. Hardcore was different. There was a message, there was a undying faith and belief in yourself and what truly mattered. It was about self-preservation through adversity. It was about strength through wounding. It was about never saying "die."

With the capitalization of punk rock and rise of pop-punk, it seems teenage girls have come to guide our progression through music. The impressionable, fickle-mindedness of the boy-crazy, young girl has shown it's destruction on music and especially on hardcore. I don't agree with how something so revelled can become so ridiculed. If you ask me, there were no pussies in hardcore to begin with. Punk and hardcore were for the kids who got their asses kicked all the time and weren't taking it anymore. They stood up and lashed out with ferocity and a vengeance. That's why the jock-mentality arose in hardcore. That's why all the toughest bands are all these musclebound dudes that would make the Hulk scared. They weren't these banter-weight androgynous kids; those were the heroin junkie punks, malnourished and withering away from their disgusting addictions.

I'm hardcore because that's who I am. I believe what I believe completely and no one can sway my reasoning but me. No one will take away from me what I love so much and I'll destroy whoever stands in my way. "Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here. A man face you, he is enemy. Enemy deserve no mercy."

That Karate Kid Cobra-Kai mantra would be bad ass to put at the beginning of my imaginary band's first EP or CD. tongue biggrin
