If we're talking Hardcore Punk, West coast is where it all started in L.A. They needed something faster and harder than the 70's sounds of bands like The Ramones or The Sex Pistols, so they began doing it a lot faster, and much heavier. Eventually they coined the term "Hardcore" to describe it all. Then the sound moved out to D.C. and the East coast, then spread throughout the Midwest and Texas, and finally New York decided to join in a little late in the game.
