Never been into hardcore, XM radio had a hardcore channel(42?) and never got though more than 1 or 2 songs. Its mostly ska, some punk, a few rockabilly/psycobilly bands along the lines of the horrorpops.

How look what they started. Im getting google ads (over there ----->) for hair and metal bands; ▶ Reply to This

And yes... harcore & ska have been fused together for years.; ▶ Reply to This

Bands such as Black Flag wear on me with repetitious beats and hypermasculine attitude...it also bugs me how the emphasis is primarily on the lyricism, which is almost entirely obscured by unintelligible singing. Thus, I lean more towards experimental bands like Flipper, The Dicks, Big Boys, and hardcore-derivatives such as Meat Puppets, Minutemen and early Husker Du.

Unless you mean that in such a way that *every single genre of music* is connected to ska in a karmically, musically universal manner, then that is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard in relation to ska music. Really. I mean no offense to YOU, only the words that you type.

Hardcore and ska have been fused together, yes, (is there a genre ska has yet to be fused with?) but considering it "the brother" is too much. Now, *punk* can be considered a cousin, as can be jazz, but hardcore is TOO far out there, both in sound, compositional structure, cultural heritage and how seldom bands actually meld the two together.; ▶ Reply to This
