Umm... you can't give any credit to DC? The hardcore scene there started in the early 80's, Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Government Issue and so on were already working on crossing punk and metal back in '81 or earlier. Dischord was essentially the beginning of hardcore as far as I'm concerned. Though the New York scene was starting off around then too, I'm not trying to discredit those artists. Just saying you probably shouldn't write off DC if you have any sort of interest in hardcore. That was insanely off topic but oh well, I doubt anybody's going to write about punk concerts in Miami.
