"That’s actually a very good question, and probably something that a lot of people don’t think about and just take for granted. If I had to try to quantify it I’d say it’s the feeling of being a part of something special, something that was real. It’s like having this great secret that only you and a few other people know about. Back when I first got into hardcore, including me there were 3 kids in my high school (out of 1800 kids) that knew what hardcore was. You’d go to school on a Monday after a weekend of seeing Judge at the Anthrax and Agnostic Front at CB’s and just think to yourself “these kids have no idea what’s up”. I remember going back to school for senior year after Summer break – I had just been on a US tour for 3 weeks and these kids were talking about spending a week at the beach with their parents. Even though hardcore has gotten more exposure over the years, being involved in the scene has always given me that feeling of being like “I know something you don’t know”. To this day I could be at a sports event, wedding or some other public place and I’ll think to myself, “these people never saw the Cro-Mags, they have no clue”. "
At first, I meant to do a fanzine based on simple idea of having short interviews with few people about hardcore and what it means to them. I was trying to ask dudes who inspire me or who I'm friends with "what is it that makes hardcore so important to them?".It was pretty obvious to me that behind circles and fame hunting there are people very often older than myself who are full of love and passion for the core and seems like they stick to their beliefs... and I respect that. Sadly this zine once again went unfinished to my drawer but now, few years later, new opportunities gave me another chance to finish what I've started. So there you go, another hardcore blog. Maybe not so different than the rest but I really hope it will catch your attention for a bit. It's mainly one question. I will keep it short. I promise. This is what it meant. This is what it means. Enjoy.
