tny is who is right here...
I too was into it for the message and the unity- hell it's the most consitant thing I ever did in my life. I got into punk at age 14- I am now 31 and still involved in the scene more or less (know most of the bands, do promotions, design work...etc.)
Today's hardcore isn't really any different- sure the bands mentioned that you call "shitty metal" are not underground sprending unity in someone's basement- but that is happening somewhere... and even with how commerically excepted HC has become- the fact above all is that it IS about being young and playing fast and friends... we might think we had it better (and we did) but this is their shit so let them have it. I saw some stupid kid at the mall once just as moved by Korn as I was when I heard Gorillia Biscuits. Sure Korn fuckin blows to me- but not to him- it inspired him and his friends- it made them one and different at the same time- I say let them have that feeling...
