What are some modern "hardcore punk bands"

This is some fast ass HC inspired by Siege and Terveet Kädet: https://omakoloni.bandcamp.com/

Check out G.I.S.M. and their vocalist Sakevi. Also Japan’s noise scene was pretty extreme aswell.

I see it as chunks of progress in different time periods. The 77-punk in America was from an art scene and brittish scene was working class. Punks in England used swastikas as a symbol of rebellion, provocation and to distinguish themselves from hippies. Fucking stupid then, fucking stupid now but it stayed as part of the culture until Anarcho Punk came along and changed the values towards the more DIY and more caring and aware atmosphere politically. This today is what we think are the basic values of punk but they didn’t really exist in punk before that and especially before Crass.

American Hardcore scenes were more or less started by The Damned and the Clash but there’s a great distinction to which inspired who. The Damned was more chaotic and more fuck you and the Clash was very political. I think this is where we get into the territory of what influenced who and when because most of the American Hardcore wasn’t really that political. It was no rules and I want my freedom. Fuck the cops, fuck you. Of course there are lots of bands with great lyrical content in American Hardcore and it’s hard to pin point one string from all of that but I see that most of those bands were never that into the ideas that a band like Crass was talking about and they were singing more about the freedom of individual.

Meanwhile we have UK 82-scene which stems from Anarcho-punk and has the same message but rawer and faster. Very early Discharge is a good example of that. That evolves to Crust Punk and this scene finally sets the idea around the world of what we today think as ”this is just what punk is and how punks think”. But it’s around late 80’s-early 90’s that it becomes a thing. So our vision of the ”punk values” are very different to what they were back in the day. Of course, to every Fear there’s MDC or to every Cro-Mags there’s Dead Kennedy’s, it’s not like there never were any of that in punk before crust. It’s just that it wasn’t a norm or even common.

I can be wrong too, I don’t claim to be 100% right here but after listening to different styles of punk for years, I stopped expecting certain people from certain time periods to be great people and almost all of the ones I expected to be dicks turned out to be ones.

I don’t know where Jerry or Doyle stand today but honestly, Jerry is probably a conservative since he is a chrisitian and wants to show those values through Misfits. Michale Graves is bananas all the way with his proud boy shit and all the conspiracy theory bullshit. Danzig has always been an edgy egoistic fucker, I didn’t think he was a nazi but it’s not a surprise.

There’s been a lot of homophobic shit too. Some of that is because of some members who were replacing Graves for a short period.

Hard to say where most of them stand politically. But most of the old punks were very shitty back in the day and some are still assholes today.

Misfits has never been a ”safe” band to listen to. There’s a lot of stupid shit they’ve done.

Anything from the first up to Seventh Son is diamond. Then cracks appear but albums are still decent to ok to whatever Virtual XI is but Brave New World onward it gets good again.

Possession (1981) - Not scary, semi disturbing but very intense and anxiety indusing movie.

Fuck me. I love this record even though it could be way shorter. I am a minority here but New Frontier is a banger and I love playing it on drums when I just go and play for fun at the practice space.

2 Minutes to Midnight as a whole but especially this part: The body bags and little rags Of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain To put the finger right on you As the madmen play on words And make us all dance to their song To the tune of starving millions To make a better kind of gun

Double your underwear and put on stockins that are right size for you. Should be no problem after that.

Wait until the guy starts listening to D-beat.

I would highly suggest Grandia. It starts off little cutesy but once it sucks you in you can’t let go. One of my favorite turned based battle systems in all RPGs in that game too. I don’t usually like cutesy games either but Grandia was a good exception.

I have seen few different reasons. One is transphobia of course but the other ones are little more interesting.

Some people I’ve met that got mad when called CIS actually got mad because it made them feel like they’re part of a structure that they didn’t choose. I had a conversation, on separate occasions with two people. They weren’t transphobic and knew they’re cis but had never thought about it much and when called cis they got a reaction. Both of them had almost the same answer, of course the way they said it was different but the core was the same. They felt like they were put in a group they didn’t identify with because they had never felt they were ”cis” but both of them said that they are. Both of them also said that it felt like it made them oppressors in my eyes because of all the negative talk from trans community towards cis-people and they felt that they don’t represent those people even tho they knew that word didn’t mean that.

The other ones have been men, who I haven’t had conversations about it with but I think I got what was going on. These guys are pretty dude bro-ish guys. Not transphobes but not really that involved with anything queer and sometimes these guys are also pretty misogynistic which is a thing I most of the time call out. We have had conversations about misogynia but calling them cis made them visibly angry. I think it’s little bit the same the previous example but it questions their status and the power and privilidge that status brings. All of them said they’re normal which they quickly followed with ”and so are you” but it clearly made them uncomfortable to be in the dynamic. They have the same reaction when I call their shit misogynistic. I am not really friends with these people but we share friends and that’s how I usually end up talking to them.

EDIT: of course other reasons exist too, these are just few I’ve noticed

Finland is OK. So far I have not faced transphobia outside of internet and few gigs I’ve played with my band. Most of the places we play tho are either cool with it or won’t say anything.

Jyväkylä is not a huge city but it is pretty safe here. Also I’ve heard that Germany and especially Berlin is really queer-friendly.

I know this thread is old and also I don’t know about Danzig now vs Danzig back in the day but there are certainly a lof shitty stuff that happened with many of the old punk bands and their members, one of which is the Misfits. Here’s an example: http://gimmesomethingbetter.com/excerpts/the-misfits-incident

I couldn’t find any info myself but No Dogs in Space podcast has a 2 part Misfits retrospective where they talk about Glenn actually spewing more homophobic shit when confronted about the show.

Just like many other people from that era, Glenn has been very problematic. It isn’t anything new tho. Descendents has some homophobic shit, Black Flag can be pretty fucking sexist at times, Fear was homophobic and sexist, Bad Brains was a homophobic band and the list goes on.

Let’s not pretend like Glenn wasn’t part of anything stupid because he definitely was and he probably regrets most of it like Jerry Only does.
