Myspace. I chalk it up to umm 2005? When Suicide Silence and Job for a Cowboy started getting more fans across the states. Thats when i started noticing d-bags at Hardcore shows with their shirts. And they knew nothing of any other bands expect those two bands and other nu-metal and pop bands. Just because it was cool to like them and wear their shirt. Then it was a downward spiral from there, where more and more jocks and fashion kids started playing metal riffs with chugga breakdowns and pig vocals and wore tight pants and swoopy hair. I'm kind aglad they dont know of good hardcore bands that hold precious to my heart, because in a year or two they will be in college and raping and getting alcohol poisoning and listening to hiphop. Shit just pisses me off.
There is nothing wrong with listening to hip hop. There is a lot of great underground hip hop out here and the fact that I enjoy some of it doesn't make me any less "hardcore". Also, as Jeffers (mikeunion) pointed out, not all (or even most) college students are alcoholic rapists. And if you've been noticing swoopy haired douche bag kids at the shows you've been attending, they probably weren't actually hardcore shows. I've been going to hardcore shows for like 15 years, and haven't really seen any swooshy haired emo kids at any real hardcore shows.
