hardcore is still alive and it's still being played by live bands somewhere in some local kid's garage just like back in the day... I used to go see the best bands at some local youth center (strife chain of strength outspoken etc.) or highschool gymnasium where the shows were either free or less than 5 dollars. That's what hardcore is about. Not being commercial.
Shit do you realize that when Rage Against the Machine was at the height of popularity, Zach still played Inside Out shows? They played at a storage container in San Fernando with some local hardcore acts for free no less. He could have easily shined on the hardcore scene at the time. Those were the days... The Macondo Club... Cell 63. Most People have never heard of these spots but I tell you they were alive with hardcore kids and the message was unity and diy and all that good stuff and not tyring to profit off of every last ounce of material.
That's why Fugazi is STILL hardcore to this day. and that's why when Bad Religion sold out they lost their strong hardcore fanbase (and Guerewitz). where are they now? They make a lot of money but they get no respect in mine and thousands of other hardocre fan's books.
Eventually The raw hardcore sound was stolen by all the commercial newmetal bands and the message was switched up to some commercialized bullshit. But I think that's what ushered in the clean metal sound of the 90's hardcore acts like Snapcase and Earth Crisis and Eyelid....
