Why is hardcore punk so popular nowadays with the cool kids?
I noticed the transition like 4-5 years ago, with Iceage (which came out of the danish hardcore scene) getting big being a factor somewhere along the way,and the kids tracked backwards and got into old hardcore.
Now people just go on and on about black flag and minor threat and it wasn't happening before.
Don't get me wrong, I like hardcore, I just can't tell when it started getting popular amongst the coolest kids in the brooklyn terrace.
