In every music 'zine or punk/hc documentary I've read/watched over the years there's always the same question haunting the reasons someone decided to start a 'zine or film a documentary in the first place. The question is no other than "is hardcore/punk dead?" and "if it really died in 1988". Stuff like that are amusing and for sure can start endless debates on forums or in the letter section of MRR but also create divisions that lead our beloved music genre to a slow death. So, here's what I think when someone asks me if hardcore punk is dead.....fuck no! 2012 and still kickin'!
