I see your point. The 'truth or origins' of the genres will always be corrupted and adopted by the the 'industry' trying to make a fast buck. But those truths and origins will have always been borrowed and influenced by other cultural movements. Show me the first punk band and i'll show you ten more that will also claim that title, same goes for Hip Hop and Rap in general.
My band toured with Agnostic Front, H20 and Sick of it All amongst others and the hardcore/straight edge credentials we'd assumed them to have were non existent. It seems that whichever level of the creative process you experience it's all smoke and mirrors.
Thanks for the tip on the book, it looks v interesting, I shall investigate.
