I personally don't give two shits whether music is old or new, 'scene' or not. I just listen and if I like it then I like it. Bands such as Appalachian Terror Unit and slightly older stuff like Aus Rotten still get my blood pumping.
I have to say the whole getting my blood pumping thing is kind of a grievance I have with newer hardcore, in that it doesn't generally do the job for me. The emphasis on being more complex gives it a lot less energy than the older, more streamlined variety IMHO.
