hardcore came from punk so either answer could be right. I didn't read the thread but hopefully someone already pointed that out.

Hardcore Punk. the Hardcore that you're referring to is just punk rock with more balls. unless you're talking about extreme metal, which definitely isn't Black Flag. and again, i don't want to get caught up in genre debates. Black Flag was a cool band. personally, my favorite Black Flag singer was Kieth Morris, or whoever it was who sang on "Nervous Breakdown".

They were definitely a hardcore band untill they put out My War. With that record they were experimenting with Sabbath style heavy metal and then on later records they were attempting free jazz influenced instrumentals and spoken word.

The problem with hardcore is that its perceived in such a narrow fashion. Just because Black Flag wrote songs over 90 seconds long doesnt make therm not hardcore. The very defined style a lot of people think of when they talk about hardcore is basically what MDC were doing on their early records. Hardcore's not just about that though.
