Hardcore Punk

Hardcore punk is a fast, aggressive, and often politically charged style of punk rock that emerged in the late 1970s. It is characterized by loud, distorted guitars, shouted vocals, and fast tempos. The lyrics often deal with social and political issues, and the music is often aggressive and confrontational. Hardcore punk bands often play short, fast songs with few or no breaks between them. The genre is often associated with the DIY (do-it-yourself) ethic, and many bands are self-produced and self-promoted.
