I was definitely at the Showcase theater show in Corona,,, just by chance I was visiting my Aunt in L.A...Im from New Orleans!,,and randomly found a flyer the same day,had no clue they were on the West coast, (especially first time!). I believe it was with Battery,Eyelid,and Better than a thousand.... definitely tossed around a football in the parking lot before the show! One of the best shows Ive ever been too,still till this day!!!! ...and I've been to A LOT since then! 97-98? Damn I miss the 90s!!! You could randomly be 3000 miles away from home,and just find a flyer to an amazing Hardcore show stapled to a pole, or a Madball/ 25 ta life flyer given to you by Raybeez in Tompkins square park, because you had a couple tattoos,and were wearing a Sheer Terror shirt! These youngsters nowadays will never know the work we had to put in tracking down shows/ bands (or how unusually easy it just worked out at times).😂 You never get too old!!!
At first, being from MA I thought these guys were cool and the straight-edge thing seemed cool; the feeling of one big family and all that shit. I was around 13 when this was all getting started. But as the years went on, straight-edge bands fucked-up the local music scene because their shows were so violent. It divided so many bands into different sub-genres and not to mention every parish hall, Knights of Columbus, Rotary Club, etc., every local venue shut-out ALL local bands because the straight-edge kids would come-in and mosh until someone was sent away in an ambulance. Nobody wanted to play shows with these bands because they were such a pain in the ass. Sadly the music that followed in the wake of sXe bands spawned a huge wave of really shitty scream-o. It just sucks it all went south so fast.
Brandon Veracka I love TYF, but you pretty much nailed it. 90's Boston HC, as great as it was atm, essentially killed the fucking scene. At least here in the city.
***** The number-one thing that killed the entire music scene was the hardcore bands' fans ridiculously violent moshing. I like a good mosh just as much as the next guy, but these Hardcore idiots during the late `90s and early `00s were such idiots; the kind of straightedge kids who go to shows *just* for the fights. At least here in the South Shore area where I grew up and played at and went to lots of HC shows, the scene died because none of the public halls would host heavy bands because too many people were getting hurt. Personally it *really* pissed me off, because I was more into punk rock and later more experimental (rock like TOOL); generally less angry music, and my bands couldn't get any shows at local places-except bars-because the owners would always say stuff like, "well the last time we had a show one kid lost a tooth and another broke a collar bone." By the time 2004-2005 came around, I was so angry with straightedge kids for *completely destroying* all the good places we had established as *great* places to play; parish halls and Knights of Columbus type places, all closed to us within a few years because of idiotic people. So sad. Anyways, it sucks that era of music had to die such an awful death, but then again, the music wasn't really that good. It was more about the sense of camaraderie that we all got from being together and listening to the same music. Sadly the very thing that got the scene going--the straightedge "philosophy"--was the same thing that killed it! I often think if some of those kids hadn't been so angry and hit a bong instead of their friends, we'd still have places to play! Well that's enough outta me. ~Nostalgic Regards from the South Shore!
Olmstead Runyon I sympathize with you, however, you did really experience something really unique. I experienced a post-hardcore revival on Long Island in the early 2010s. It came and went within 5 years. Fortunately, the violence was totally out of hand, but the scene was over pretty fast.

+Brandon Veracka I loath violence, but I prefer the intensity over longevity.
AbdulFaje Fair enough; and not a terrible philosophy!
