The Hardcore Thread Genre • Page 550

Like you can’t even put the name of the fest on top? Amateur shit.

 

who gives a shit what the flyer looks like

 

Because it’s funny that it was once THE hardcore fest and now the big draw is Shattered Realm and other FSU goon bands

 

dead

 

Micdrop lol

 

seems like a logical progression to coworker music after plotting a tour with bush.

 

The National media has picked up on this Gel story, tmz ran a story on it on their show. They all kinda frame it making fun of them. Basically being like they are a few weeks away from Coachella and they couldn’t keep it together for a break like that.

 

Does anyone actually listen to Torture? Finally got around to listening to them yesterday and I gotta say, I don’t get it?

 

i tried. the drummer frog click vocal thing is too distracting.

 

I think they’re terrible lol

 

there’s a reason they’re named torture

 

even bands that I don’t like that are super popular “I can get it” I don’t like sleep token, but I get it, sometimes a band comes around that people are really into and I just don’t see the appeal. There are bands doing similar things to them but way way way better.

 

Old man opinion, but I feel like a lot of those slam bands are just this generation's version of the white belt grind bands from the myspace days.

Half ironic, probably fun live, but mostly just merch machines for teenagers that don't want to look like normies.

 

Not a fan of Torture but watching the drummer play made me appreciate it more.

 

In theory they seem like something I could respect: a band that’s extremely vocal about US imperialism and is constantly bringing up the Palastinian genocide. I feel like hardcore really lacks a band that’s ~about~ something. That being said they don’t have the lyrics to back it up and it kinda comes across as surface level. I also think musically they’re just very uninteresting.

 

Speaking of bands that have blown up way more than I would have ever imagined: Big Boy

 

Also bad

 

I’m just not a slam guy in general though

 

Listened to big ass truck for the first time yesterday. Made me giggle.

 

Torture is fun, but so is goregrind to me so I'm an outlier on that stuff.

 

I think if you want a heavier hardcore band doing the military imperial thing and having lyrics to back it up, I think Contention does a good job. No shade on Torture, but it’s not for me.

 

Not my post but thought it was interesting.

 

Peeling Flesh is the slam band people should be listening to instead of Torture imo

 

Seen Torture live twice last year and it was epic both times, really crazy crowd reaction it was pretty fun lol

 

That makes more sense. Still, fuck that guy, but it does make more sense now if true.
