hey swoop!
is powerviolence a music genre? man i m getting old.
name some favorite bands!
and...welcome!

That’s just obvious (I like Black Flag better)

Powerviolence is closely related to grindcore. It’s like hardcore fused with extreme metal. It’s often very political, bands are typically far left in association. Good lifting music.

It's actually not. It's like grindcore WITHOUT the metal.

Really depends on what you already listen to. Really nothing like Hardcore at all, so if you came into looking for hardcore punk with electronic influences, you came to wrong genre.

7 Seconds, Poison Idea, Naked Aggression, Agent Orange, Angry Samoans, Negative Approach,, Refused, Charged GBH, Inside Out, DOA, Consumed, Dag Nasty, Bad Brains, F-Minus, Raised Fist, Good Clean Fun, JFA, Litmus Green, Minutemen, Necros, Murphy's Law, Punch, Stretch Arm Strong... Just to name a few.

Hey, thanks for the welcome.

Personally, I'd argue powerviolence isn't an actual genre of music, but it does exist. It's hard to describe exactly.

Good bands; Spazz, dropdead, Crossed Out, In/Humanity, Afgrund, Despise You, and of course, Infest.

:laughing:

Hi Swoop, nice to meet you.

swoop and Dharma
i heard half of the bands/clips swoop wrote and dharma linked to and now i m sure that powerviolence is not for me, be it an existing music genre or not. the hardcore-est i will be able to enjoy will stay what it was (fugazi, big black, Biafra and the Melvins, nothing else comes to mind right now) cant say i havent tried.
