Is "Hard Core" Music? or am I an old fart?
I like loud, angry, thrashing music.
I like talentless 3 chord music.
I just don't get Hard Core.
To me, it is non-musical angry screaming.
If the backup band were more musical, that might help.
Am I just getting too old?
I like so many types of music, but this one I can't get, and I have tried.
Do I need different drugs? Amphetamines? Horse tranquilizers?
I didn't even know its name until I asked a friend who is a small studio owner. He told me its called Hard Core.
He told me there is a subset of Hard Core that is skinhead Nazi Hard Core.
He also told me that a fellow producer friend quit the business after a Hard Core session where the "singer" (if you can call them that) wanted to do another take because his notes were "flat"
For those that like it, please educate me:
Is it music?
Do you sing along? Or do you scream along?
It hurts my throat to scream like that - how do they do it for hours at a show?
who are the pioneers of this genre - when did it start?
Who is the best at it?
Who is most likely to get me to like it? Perhaps something with a slightly tonal band, but would that qualify as Hard core?
Is hard core just the screaming? Or is the non-musical background instrumentation also required?
Flame away - I am a "Hard Core JONG"
