Under The Influence : New York Hardcore
“Punk rock, all they ever did was complaining about shit - no solutions. Hardcore was about finding solutions to those problems.“ - John Joseph, Cro-Mags
Noisey did a great job by examining the origins of the NY hardcore scene as well as its pop cultural influence that still is a very relevant one today.
“In the first episode of our series Under the Influence, we go from the streets of the Lower East Side all the way to South Korea to examine one of the most distinctive genres to sprout from the concrete of New York City: hardcore. Along the way, we’ll meet with everyone from tattoo shop owners to chefs to government workers—all of whom have been inspired by the teachings at musical meccas like CBGB’s and A7 and found ways to apply the lessons learned from the scene to their own lives.“ (Forty)
