If put side by side with a Ramones record I would use the Black Flag one to wipe my ass

Black Flag is hardcore simple as that. I prefer the Circle Jerks.

Look at the genre. They leaned more towards hardcore though with their behavior and sound. So you both were somewhat right, Ethan more however. EIMP a band's genre doesn't change over time if they have stopped recording. Just because they seem hardcore today means they were hardcore back then same with punk. Would you call The Ramones Prog today because they "seem prog"?

Black Flag was one of the original hardcore acts *digs up posts*

Hardcore started in punk, but now it is its own genre and Black Flag are in the hardcore genre.
