Best 100 hardcore punk releases

Hardcore punk is a subgenre of punk rock that originated in the late 1970s and early 1980s, primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is characterized by its fast and aggressive sound, with loud and distorted guitars, heavy basslines, and fast, pounding drums. The lyrics often deal with political and social issues, with an emphasis on DIY culture, anti-authoritarianism, and rebellion. Hardcore punk bands also often have a strong DIY ethic, with many producing and distributing their own music independently. Notable bands in the hardcore punk scene include Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, and Dead Kennedys.
