I have no idea what any of that is.

[The New Sea Territory]

We had a punk thread.

Anyway, I saw Leftover Crack, All Torn Up, Days N Daze and Dawn Patrol last night. Great show. Crustier than Krusty the Clown.

I've never heard of the genre before, but Powerviolence is quite possibly the best name for anything ever.

"Power violence (sometimes written as powerviolence) is a raw and dissonant subgenre of hardcore punk, which lasted from early 1987 until late 1998. The style is closely related to thrashcore and grindcore. In contrast with grindcore, which is a "crossover" idiom containing musical aspects of heavy metal, powerviolence is just an augmentation of the most challenging qualities of hardcore punk; like its predecessor, it is usually socio-politically charged and iconoclastic."

I like all of these, except for grindcore.

I get the feeling this won't be a particularly active topic once the flood of people saying they don't know what these are has died down.

In the meantime, I'll drop Longhena here, because I feel like it. You can't stop me.
