New York hardcore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New York Hardcore (NYHC) refers to hardcore punk and metalcore music created in New York City and to the subculture associated with that music. New York hardcore grew out of the hardcore scene established in Washington, D.C., by bands such as Bad Brains and Minor Threat.
New York City played a central role in the development of hardcore. An important scene emerged in 1981 with the emigration of the Bad Brains from Washington, DC.[1][2] The scene has been focused around venues such as the famous CBGBs, ABC No Rio, A7 and Brooklyn's L'amour. The New York scene was home to most of the early influential bands, such as Agnostic Front, Beastie Boys, Cro-Mags, Kraut, The Mob, Urban Waste, Sheer Terror, Murphy's Law, Reagan Youth, Cause for Alarm, Warzone, and later bands like Sick of It All, Youth of Today, Breakdown, Raw Deal, Gorilla Biscuits, Judge, Bold, Underdog, Token Entry, Leeway, Absolution, Side by Side, Burn, Shutdown, Crown of Thornz and Madball.
NYHC icons Agnostic Front and Murphy's Law appear in Matthew Barney's Cremaster 3.[3]
