Hard Core is a lifestyle, a subculture, a libertarian movement! Hard Core evolved from punk as son evolves from his father, with the change of times and beliefs. Hard Core is a movement against the SYSTEM too, but it's less destructive and more active than punk, caring with values like friendship love trust modesty humbleness union. It's more agressive and more positive! It's an alternative to what punk has become now, an alternative to the non-political movement that punk has become. The punk scene that everyone knows isn't the real Against The System movement that it was in the beggining, it has become non-worried with the "cause". Hard Core have evolved in such way that it became strongly a Political movement, worried with real-life problems, trying to make this world a better world. Hard Core isn't just a music style, is much more than that: IT'S A FIGHT AGAINST THE SYSTEM! And music is a really good way to do it! So, as a movment associated with music, it's natural for music to be on any of our actions. I don't really know how Hard Core have evolved, or when or even why it happened! But I know that it evolved in a natural sort of way that makes it very powerful and strenghtful!

As I said, music is a really good way to send the message out! But music is an art too. Therefor there are different music styles into the Hard Core movment, corresponding to different people's tastes. I personaly like them all, but the style I like the most is the old school style: for me, it has more strenght and the message is more clear and probably more political; it is more near to what punk was, it's raw and non-commercial! But the new school style is pretty good too: it has more personal feelings and aspects in the message; and it became much more technical and more produced, with a little metal sound into it.

A band that is Hard Core has to have political lyrics and opinions, it has to have the feeling and the spirit that Hard Core is! I feel kind of sad when people who say that are into Hard Core listen and buy cd's of commercial band's, that have no message at all. But I respect that, people don't have to listen just what I would want them to listen! It's just that when I listen to Hard Core, I feel great, I feel strenghtful and powerful, I feel full of spirit to do what I have to do! The MACHINE won't stop us!

So feel the spirit!
