New England Hardcore is a subgenre of hardcore punk that originated in the New England region of the United States in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its fast tempos, aggressive vocals, and heavy breakdowns. The lyrics often focus on social and political issues, and the music is often seen as a form of protest. The genre is heavily influenced by the hardcore punk scene in Washington, D.C., and bands such as Minor Threat, Bad Brains, and Fugazi. New England Hardcore bands include Converge, Bane, Have Heart, and American Nightmare.
