***** No, it's not. I've never heard anyone else in Oakland talk like that, and it's certainly not a "regional" thing. Tim just developed it on his own.
I was born & grew up HIP HOP And we in the hip hop culture share the same spirit within HARDCORE in the streets of new york ......thats why hardcore rap was born since RUN DMC starting off by sampling rock music 💯💯 IM PROUD TO BE HARDCORE 💪💥
Absolutely, the same creative spark that gave rise to HipHop in the Bronx in 1977, also kicked off the punk scene. Both organically started out as independent street art. Once the corporations came in (Hammer, Vanilla Ice / Green Day Offspring) they both lost their innocence, but the underground is still intact.
God damn I can relate. " what did you do last night".... I have only just gotten comfortable with saying I went to a hardcore or Metal show, but I cant explain it to most. THey dont get it. I still explain my ACL and meniscus tear I had surgery for was from " rough housing and soccer"
HeavyProfessor you are a point of light-you, whoever you inhabit today! You can pick and choose! If you’ve been in a squat or on the street you ought to explore other lives I think.
Anthony Conrad I think a lot of straight people are interested, and will listen, but I grew up in Ny and moved to the suburbs up north and you just can’t convey it all so they get the picture but not the symphony you know.
When John says “all punks ever did was complain. They’d say fuck the motha fucka! No solutions. Hardcore is about finding the Solutions to those problems.” Get me tearing up, everytime. That statement hits home so hard.
I'm literally talking about a different time- 2000-2008. I'm not talking about todays hc scenes. sure, it always has been an issue through out the years. Yes, I do say a lot worse now, but not so much back then, then to those who actually made that obvious that a singer/guitarist ect. were making those wrong decisions. @@davidduke9763
So happy and impressed to see Vice include Title Fight in this video. Spotlighting niche genres is awesome and meaningful documentation and work, and 100% Title Fight is inspired by hardcore, but as hinted on this video Title Fight bends genres; Shoegaze, Hardcore, Punk, Emo, Hard Indie. Either way, Title Fight is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I am grateful to see them included in this video. More so, I'd be grateful to get to see them LIVE someday! Please tour Title Fight!! (of course, only on your own conditions and desires)
I miss Title Fight touring/being active so much. If I recall correctly, they haven't done any major touring or shows since like 2016, so like barely post-Hyperview.
This was great! Almost made me cry. I guess I'll always be a "hardcore kid" at heart...you grow, sometimes stop listening to hardcore music, going to shows; but that "hardcore" state of mind just lives on.
Crazy how I can feel energy through my computer, all these decades later. I'm nearing 40 and a family man....now I gotta go out to the garage and "build something"
This proves that Hardcore is a way of life and is a culture. Very cool to see props given to bad brains from DC that truly started the movement. Vinnie Stigma is the man and TRUE New Yorker. Agnostic front could be the best NYHC band of all time. Still doing their thing hard! NY is the birthplace of so many musical movements and I'm proud to be a part of both. NY and the NYHC scene. Glad to see this video get so many views and expand the Hardcore culture! PMA!
Wow. That was surprisingly awesome. Regardless of where I am in life or where hardcore is now/is going, I'll always be glad that I came up in the hardcore scene.
Myke C-Town Hey Myke, love your channel, was just wondering when you're gonna upload a new Vinyl Update video. Those are my favorite cause I learn about a bunch of new stuff I've never heard of. Hope all is well, take care man.
+Tobakilacion you can do it without sharing the same interests, just find some commonalities, i find that differences make it all the more interesting if you're open to new ideas.
2:55 Pain of Truth sampled this for one of their new tracks You & Me awesome sample i recognized it right away since i used to watch this documentary all the time
+Pramu Dananjaya Back in the day nyhc wasn't so nice. hahaha they would beat you in the street because they had to preserve what was theirs, specifically on the LES. Bad Brains was an entity on their own. They really practiced PMA.
I've been listening all those bands sinse I was a teenager then it's really cool and inspiraing to whatch a video like this,Punk Rock Hard core just changed my life forever, I just live in São Paulo city, Brazil It's hell of town It's a big place, crownded, violent and busy as well then It's really like New York from 70's 80's then hard core scene here It's really similar with New York scene I guess so every year we just have all those bands wich really influenced a whole generation in South America as well so thank you guys . SPHC Represent
if im ever in a creative funk / need a boost to get the creative juices flowing / to just be inspired to create art I always watch this and it never fails to get that creative fire burning bright. PMA!!!
I was a skinhead, then I become a xstright edgex, ate alot of book to get PMA (positive mental attitude) learn many religions, history and philosophy, Im born as muslim, but never know what islam is, untill I learn quran with the meaning. Finally i found the right path. This docu. Remembering me with my oldskool days.
Thank you for posting this! Just my two cents: came from the middle class suburbs, now graduating from med school so I never looked like or will ever look like "a hardcore kid" but I can't imagine my life throughout highschool and until now without it. Doesn't matter how many patients i see, how many surgeries I do, or how lame/boring I look on the outside doing it, you bet i'm gonna be on that stage till i die, blasting hardcore from the operating room. Thanks again for the vid!
+insanez703 ladies and gentlemen, here is the perfect example of just being yourself, as opposed to trying too hard to be something you're not. It'll never catch on with the cool kids in the cool club on the other side of town. Their loss. Bravo, OP.
roger bringing Freddie up is what true hardcore is about: Brotherhood, uplifting your peers, if you're strong, share that strength with those you love and those who go through what you go through. If you bully, you're weak, you gotta uplift and uphold support the new generation, even if you gotta put them on your fucking shoulders!
I keep coming back to this video every so often. I just love it, all the bands, all the stories. I've been fortunate to see many of the featured bands despite growing up in the rural Midwest and only getting into hardcore in the early 2000s. I love the music, but even more, I love the comraderie, the community. If you spend enough time, it really does become like a family, but even if you don't, you carry those memories with you. It's beautiful, and even at 42, I can't get enough. ❤
The 90’s hardcore scene in Mass, Connecticut, New York & Jersey was dope AF…shows constantly week to week state to state. So many great bands & good times. Sweaty packed crowds for 25 Ta Life.
I was in Fury of Five at the time and I got to play with a ton of awesome bands. We played the Agnostic Front reunion show at the Wetlands. All the NYHC guys are great guys and super talented at what they do
@@dmitrystrelianny2486 that's hardcore in a nutshell. No one in the hood starts a hardcore band. It's all suburban kids. Vfw halls and garages and basement shows. Varsity jackets?! Get real. It's always been middle/upper class kid music. Poor kids listen to street/crust punk or hip hop. Hardcore is vital for people who understand that living well isn't all it's cracked up to be. Ask rollins who played at being homeless.
This was fascinating. I never knew hardcore punk could be so influential and motivational, especially for young people and how we relate to it. It’s like a release from all of this societal pressure to conform, it’s refreshing, freeing. It teaches you to be yourself and do what you want to. I personally like hardcore because of my love of thrash metal - that’s why I love bands like Leeway, who combine thrash with hardcore: it’s a sub genre called crossover thrash
It was kind of a estranged idea to put that on - buy I feel what they are trying to convey is the angle of the story. Hardcore led a member of Indecision to belive and stand up for what he believes in in a complete 180 degree turn
***** South Korea was a cool choice precisely because it is unexpected. I actually live there (and have been to shows at that venue). Punk has really only been a thing in South Korea for maybe 20 years. The Geeks have a big NYHC influence. So it shows that the NYHC sound has reached some seemingly random places. South Korean punks are an interesting bunch, especially when you consider how much more of a stigma it carries in such a conservative and collectivist culture.
Honestly; when I first watched this video when I was younger, I loved hardcore and I thought I understood it. But then when the videos credits played I was like wow; now... now i am truly informed about this being passion and not only aggression
this documentary change my mindset when i first time watched on my friend home back then, now i go back here because of the random algorithm and still have a shiver while watching it for the several times . so sick
that documetary was one of the most uplifting things i've ever seen. Listen to Stigma and the guys from Trash Talk talking about their roots is just great.
Choosing Tim Armstrong to narrate a documentary about hardcore punk is like choosing Dylan to narrate one about folk: great artist, but you can't understand a fucking word he's saying.
It's amazing how something (music / scene) created literally 20 years ago in another country could influence an entire NEW generation on the other side of the planet. Great segment guys!
I love the independent aspect of punk rock, the 7” records, shows with no backstage, the creativity in the jackets, fan zines, & flyers…..kids just having fun!
such a rosy positive picture, yet the worst most brutal fights I ever saw where at hard core shows, insecure children juiced up on roids insisting that you "don't f with me"
Love and respect to all , sweet memories , n.y.h.c was an experience like no other back in the day it hit. Raw , pure , true , creative and hard as hell. There was an energy that was intense. Peace and love to all still serving.
For those that don't know (since it wasn't mentioned in the video), Justin Brannan (the city council guy towards the end) was in the bands Indecision, Most Precious Blood, and Caninus. I highly recommend checking out Most Precious Blood's albums "Merciless," "Our Lady Of Annihilation," and "Nothing In Vain."
16:09 Absolutely right - You had to read the liner notes to learn about new bands. The "Thank yous" were the best source of information outside of something like MMR.
Love what the dudes from Trash Talk said. Listen to bands you like, see who they thank in their liner notes, check out those bands, continue, continue. Great way to learn about new bands.
I saw it all happen in the 80s. I remember seeing Agnostic Front in the late 80s in Trenton NJ. Most violent show I have ever seen. I saw one of the first skinhead walls. It was extremely violent. City Gardens Forever!
thank you for making this - and thank you to all the bands who changed my life growing up - all the times sick of it all, madball, and h2o played our shitty little clubs.. it is appreciated
Im so glad grew out of the "metal is the only genre i listen to" phase. Bands like these are the reason there are so many awesome metal/punk/hardcore bands to this day.
I love this scene. It’s honestly full of humble individuals with so many positive and wise outlooks on life. Yes, nowadays it’s a bit problematic with sexual allegations and such, but I’ll always know hardcore for what it really is: a culture that unites people who want to evoke change in society with their words and with their instruments.
Cool doc but need to do one on the 90's NYHC scene. Of course Madball & Agnostic front was still the shit. I am talking about all the bands I played with & grew up with. All out war, Sworn Enemy, Irate, Billy club sandwich, blood for blood which I know are from Boston. Vision of disorder, Earth crisis, Everyone gets hurt, Candiria 100 demons etc. Such a great & forgotten time in music. So much influence on today's heavy music. NYHC 4 life.
In the first episode of Under the Influence, join members of Agnostic Front, Title Fight, Youth of Today, Incendiary, and more to find out how hardcore changed their lives.
Noisey that was one of the best docs ive seen from you guys yet, you couldve focused on the brutality but instead youve shown the beauty of it. pma everyday.
Noisey I went into this video with high anticipation because I was part of this scene since the 80's... BUT: How can LEEWAY not be in this or even mentioned? or how about the fanzines (such as InEffect Hardcore) be left out? other than that, this was good but decided not to rate it
You know, I would like to see a documentary about punk and hardcore about the kids who DIDN'T MAKE IT. Because there were far more who probably died of drugs, violence, or just didn't do much after they got older. Or just got typical jobs and started families. That would be an interesting topic. Yes, yes, we know it was cool to grow u in New York, Los Angeles, or London or whatever every documentary covers and all the bands who got really big, rich, and successful and started hipster restaurants for rich yuppies and all...but what about the others? A lot were extremely violent people, no good, hellraisers, and other low lifes, or just got bored and grew up. The majority were not vegan or "spiritual". I would also love to se a documentary about punk or hardcore in various cities that are not famous. Just towns or what was happening in other parts.
You've got subtitles on a Korean dude speaking basically perfect English and none on Tim Armstrong sounding like the greased up deaf guy.
brokenrobotics i was gonna say the exact same thing
Alex rivas Haha, I just put this on my facebook wall with the same sentiment.
***** dialect*
brokenrobotics HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
***** No, it's not. I've never heard anyone else in Oakland talk like that, and it's certainly not a "regional" thing. Tim just developed it on his own.
I was born & grew up HIP HOP
And we in the hip hop culture share the same spirit within HARDCORE in the streets of new york ......thats why hardcore rap was born since RUN DMC starting off by sampling rock music 💯💯
IM PROUD TO BE HARDCORE 💪💥
Facts LES Crew 4 Life
Beastie boys were a punk band too

I grew up in flint Michigan, it was a mix of hardcore and hip hop for me. The result king 810.

"Even if I'm wearing a suit, I'm still a hardcore kid." So true. I'm a doctor now and still a hardcore kid and not afraid to admit it.

Ya u are bitch. thats why ur admittin it in a comment section
Josh Austin fuck off you scumbag.
I got teary eyes at the end of the video. Absolutley beautiful. This is why I love hardcore. I'm so glad they included Title Fight.

One of my favorite vids of all time! I watch this often still haja
"I didn't go to college, I went to South Korea ya know what I mean?"
instead of college? why the fuck not. if you dont wanna be taught, TEACH!!
No I know of course! But I just thought it was an awesome quote from Lee.
Dan Kiaresh its actually hilarious, random kinda, lmao why south korea outta everywhere he coulda went, i can imagine way better places
***** South Korea was a cool choice precisely because it is unexpected. I actually live there (and have been to shows at that venue).

+Tobakilacion they're fucking awesome
They're Post HC for sure. I'd say I'd still count that as HC
@Russian Bot Well, the members of Title Fight did have a hardcore project called Bad Seeds. And it was dope af
I can't find words to describe how great it is. I felt truely alive for those 26 minutes.
17:47 was the realest thing ever lol "I didn't go to college i went to south korea"
Good to see hardcore is not dead. Soon I'll take my band to all these places.
I wouldn't say I had an outer body experience at shows, more like a heightened sense of awareness.

such a rosy positive picture, yet the worst most brutal fights I ever saw where at hard core shows, insecure children juiced up on roids insisting that you "don't f with me"
That sucks. You went to the wrong shows.
sworn enemy shows bugged me out. fuckin gangs and shit.
Chris Stevens same!
it was bad. everyone seems.to know.someone they killed too
Love and respect to all , sweet memories , n.y.h.c was an experience like no other back in the day it hit. Raw , pure , true , creative and hard as hell. There was an energy that was intense.
Peace and love to all still serving.
this makes me so fucking happy.
Thank you for this video. The Geeks are my new favorite.
NOTHING IS HARDER THAN NEW YORK HARDCORE
Hardcore is REAL !
EXACTLY...same theory within hip hop....where it was born...
Especially within HARDCORE rap ....🔥🔥🔥
Connecticut Hardcore and Boston right up there.
Great documentary, Thanks Noisey
This documentary makes me feel proud about being a hardcore guy.
I grew up in the pit in DIY venues. All different kind of heavy music. This brought back so many memories.
For those that don't know (since it wasn't mentioned in the video), Justin Brannan (the city council guy towards the end) was in the bands Indecision, Most Precious Blood, and Caninus. I highly recommend checking out Most Precious Blood's albums "Merciless," "Our Lady Of Annihilation," and "Nothing In Vain."
16:09 Absolutely right - You had to read the liner notes to learn about new bands. The "Thank yous" were the best source of information outside of something like MMR.
That was great to watch. Just like Justin Brannan said, no matter what I do or where I am I always feel like a hardcore kid in my heart.
Love what the dudes from Trash Talk said. Listen to bands you like, see who they thank in their liner notes, check out those bands, continue, continue. Great way to learn about new bands.
I saw it all happen in the 80s. I remember seeing Agnostic Front in the late 80s in Trenton NJ. Most violent show I have ever seen. I saw one of the first skinhead walls. It was extremely violent. City Gardens Forever!
Whats a skinhead “wall”?
You were at City Gardens, weren't you... nvm I didn't read that far
I came up listening to the music and going to shows all over New York and the tri state area supporting my friends bands.
West Hempstead represent!
thank you for making this - and thank you to all the bands who changed my life growing up - all the times sick of it all, madball, and h2o played our shitty little clubs.. it is appreciated
Im so glad grew out of the "metal is the only genre i listen to" phase. Bands like these are the reason there are so many awesome metal/punk/hardcore bands to this day.
You went backwards dude you usually start with punk, then progress to hardcore, and then finish off with metal.
i think i just died around 19:26 when he said VOD is an older band, i guess that means im OLD
I love this scene. It’s honestly full of humble individuals with so many positive and wise outlooks on life. Yes, nowadays it’s a bit problematic with sexual allegations and such, but I’ll always know hardcore for what it really is: a culture that unites people who want to evoke change in society with their words and with their instruments.
j\'adore 💥🔥👍
I saw the Geeks at This Is Hardcore in Philly a few years ago. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a band have more fun playing than them.
Cool doc but need to do one on the 90's NYHC scene. Of course Madball & Agnostic front was still the shit. I am talking about all the bands I played with & grew up with. All out war, Sworn Enemy, Irate, Billy club sandwich, blood for blood which I know are from Boston. Vision of disorder, Earth crisis, Everyone gets hurt, Candiria 100 demons etc. Such a great & forgotten time in music. So much influence on today's heavy music. NYHC 4 life.
yeah man, those are the bands I grew up with.
No H2O? or are they thought of as sell outs now..
No bulldoze? WHHHAATT pfftttt
Glad I had the privilege of growing up in the NYHC scene. The best times of my life.
21:18 Justin Brannan - from Hardcore to Communications Director for the Democratic Party?
That's consistent with Hardcore? What a depressing shame.
I could never wear a suit but we need ppl that didnt grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth to represent us. I fw it
i loved growing up with my brother in the hardcore scene, it kept us together and off the streets
In the first episode of Under the Influence, join members of Agnostic Front, Title Fight, Youth of Today, Incendiary, and more to find out how hardcore changed their lives.
Noisey Fucking GREAT SHOW!!!!! Tim Armstrong Narrating is Awesome too!!!
Noisey Nice production value and engaging narrator. Didn't know this was part of VICE
Noisey that was one of the best docs ive seen from you guys yet, you couldve focused on the brutality but instead youve shown the beauty of it. pma everyday.
Noisey I went into this video with high anticipation because I was part of this scene since the 80's... BUT:
How can LEEWAY not be in this or even mentioned?
or how about the fanzines (such as InEffect Hardcore) be left out?
other than that, this was good but decided not to rate it
JiHottist What you didn't smell the waft of pretentiousness in this video?
Great Doc, thank you for taking the time to make it and post it!!!
HARDCORE STILL LIVES!
This video is so Inspiring.! LONG LIVE HARDCORE.! HARDCORE WILL NEVER DIE.!
"Narrated by Tim Armstrong"
Fuck... Gonna have to listen carefully.
So simple but so genius giving a credits list to all the bands mentioned in the video. So useful
You know, I would like to see a documentary about punk and hardcore about the kids who DIDN'T MAKE IT. Because there were far more who probably died of drugs, violence, or just didn't do much after they got older. Or just got typical jobs and started families. That would be an interesting topic. Yes, yes, we know it was cool to grow u in New York, Los Angeles, or London or whatever every documentary covers and all the bands who got really big, rich, and successful and started hipster restaurants for rich yuppies and all...but what about the others? A lot were extremely violent people, no good, hellraisers, and other low lifes, or just got bored and grew up. The majority were not vegan or "spiritual".
I would also love to se a documentary about punk or hardcore in various cities that are not famous. Just towns or what was happening in other parts.
+MaharlikaAWA good ideas, champ...time to get yourself a video camera and get to it!!
MrMmnngghh I wish I could.
Haha, 'hipster restaurants'. I thought that was funny. But, yeah. Your idea would be interesting. We just need to find someone to do it!!
Maybe watch the 2008 documentary 'Anvil! The Story of Anvil', though Anvil is a Canadian heavy metal band.
Sometimes it's better to burn out than it is to rust.
03:23, if i could travel back in time to see one gig, it would be that one.
