[immortalfastthrash]

Only screamo...

[mmoviefan7]

YOU MADE MY DAY, i was looking for that song by comeback kid for a year or 4

[Alienpelvis86]

Comeback Kid. Good boy. :)

[fishlig]

where is YOUR DEMISE?

[sixfouimpala]

U forgot Greenday !

[drewcox010101]

@sixfouimpala no..PUNK

.

[syfycrimes000]

@sixfouimpala Greenday isn't hardcore

[ELxBARTO]

Or do you listen to bands like xGracex aboard? I mean ... i was to a show of xGracex. THe concert was quite small.. maybe about 20 people in audience.... i cant imagine that small german bands are that famous aboard ...

[ELxBARTO]

Are you German, Baxterqc? I'm surprised about all the german bands in your list. He probably won't answer my question .. so does anyone know if he's from Germany?

[BloodRain2224]

damn, love final fight.

[BrokenSKATE123]

GALLOWS?!

[DBSaiyanTim777]

change modern into gay

[mustaphamirim]

Love that you included Set It Straight, Betrayed, Champion, Comeback Kid, Have Heart.

But I agree that you failed when you didn't include Verse and Defeater, and Sinking Ships also.

[Thee9Punk3Martyr]

K.T.D. Set It Straight, Champion, Comeback Kid, Have Heart and M.L.I.W. I absolutely agree with, but no Verse, Bane, Defeater?

[melloncase88]

Most of this wasn't hardcore

Set it straight should have been at the top

[Thee9Punk3Martyr]

@melloncase88 What bands were not hardcore?

[MrAllie85]

XxXxXxXxXxXxX STAY TRUE,,,,

[TMgamer95]

240 P :(

[deadcordova]

where is CEREMONY man!?

that is a real modern hardcore band!

[xrobertxbobox]

@deadcordova I agree. Really good list, but Ceremony Need's to be added.

[BROSQUEE1]

Where can i find these bands downloads?

[punkchaos9]

Death By Stereo???

[EmaJack99]

And Tokyo Hotel???

[BrokenSKATE123]

@EmaJack99 Fuck Off

[EmaJack99]

@BrokenSKATE123 Fuck you scumbag

[vincent6445]

comeback kid and this is hell!!!! yes!!! seeing them for the first time ever on sunday!!! PUNK ROCK IS NOT DEAD

[magonk456]

i think all these sides branches coming off all genres sometimes is ott "post punk hardcore metal pop crunch crackling"keep making all these random sub genres it just gets confusing keep it in the same brackets!!!.....well thats my opinion anyway like it or lump it!!!

[foofightersforever18]

@magonk456 i agree on some level but there needs to be some subgenres cuz you can put metallica and underoath in the same category and that just an example but i definitely know what you mean

[joncool25]

@foofightersforever18 no metalica was drunge metal underaoth is posthardcore/ now metalcore completely diffrenct metalica was more metal than punk while underath is more punk than metal hence posthardcore it's not really metalcore

[WorldEnslaved]

@joncool25  underoath has nothing to do with punk

[joncool25]

@WorldEnslaved as much as i would like to agree with you i can't underath in the 2005 to 2010 was posthardcore maybe early metalcore and it had a lot of punk elements, underoath now is more metalcore and not punk ever since aaron left, when they started they were infact ehavier and more deathcore with metalcore instrumentals, underoath cannot be defined as one particular genre to suit all of it's histroy it's always evolving but yeah around 2005 to 2010 it was posthardcore band

[EvanB43]

@foofightersforever18 haha that guys name is foofightersforever. now that is hilarious

[MegaKidkudi]

can i have a link for number 18????????pls

[notavgjoe378]

This isn't hardcore punk, this is just another branch off of hardcore. This is a bit more metallic. It doesn't have its rawness like real hardcore punk has.

[Fuckallnigz]

@notavgjoe378

Agreed, the vocals kind of hard a post hardcore sound.

[xTORY24EDGEx]

I had to watch this video because I just saw a thing on yahoo! answers saying All That Remains, Trivium, As I Lay Dying, and other metal shit was modern hardcore. Almost died.

[WizardGam3s]

@MrBobbymcBobbers

i dont listen to rap.. 

[MykeMetyll]

@WizardGam3s

Your loss, man.

[MrBobbymcBobbers]

@WizardGam3s i was just using that for an example of a shitty genre

[WizardGam3s]

this musik is only for gay people!! why do you listen to that shit. ??

[MrBobbymcBobbers]

@WizardGam3s why do you listen to rap, its only for gay people

[MykeMetyll]

@MrBobbymcBobbers

Then by your logic, it should be all you listen to.

[GrupmZwong]

I liked Punk very much. But Hardcore sounds totally retarded to me. There where real hard Punkbands like "The Exploited". This is Teenage-We-Try-To-Scream shit. Fuck you

[MrBobbymcBobbers]

@GrupmZwong exploited are harccore, so are dead kennedys and bad brains

[ZPDUDE87]

uhh cancer bats where the fuck are they

[pussylips9]

Listen to This, my vendetta music on facebook they are the biggest local az band right now. and they fuckin throw down

[TheScreamingCookie]

Were is Cancer bats hmmmmm

[danpadcas]

Where is REFUSED?????

[DOWNLOADME0003]

[samweaverstudios]

darn i was hopeing for leathermouth

[DubStepVIIX]

youth brigade!!!!!

[moderndayslavemusic]

My band is putting together a hardcore punk compilation cd titled "idiot state" to submit your bands songs go to our facebook page. (search for "idiot state (hardcore punk comp cd)

[nackteKANONE]

Old AFI was a great Hardcore band =)

[ExNoctemNacimur]

@nackteKANONE weren't they? but i dont like some hardcore bands, and (kill me) some of black flag is a bit out of rhythm for me, but minor threat and the misfits are BEAST

[MrIwtat]

where is more than life 0.o?

[mramericanlife]

this is not hardcore at all im 15 and i know that

[LiricalxRuzioh]

CBK! THE BEST MODERN HARDCORE BAND

[kjah4201]

this is too slow to be harcore punk this is pussy shit!

[dalarana]

hardcore punk and hardcore is not the fucking same thing -.-

[LiricalxRuzioh]

@dalarana ARE U FUCKING KIDDING ME? hardcore punk is the real hardcore! NOT METALCORE NOT POSTHXC NOT EMO ¬¬

[griffin456456456]

@LiricalxRuzioh i agree

[dalarana]

@LiricalxRuzioh i know i fucking love hardcore punk but i dislike hardcore,band like madball,agnostic front,hatebreed and shit

[risensolution]

@LiricalxRuzioh the truth, All forms of metal punk are all good, to the listener and we have to respect they all rooted from hardcore but, they are all as good as each other respectively on who's listeninig, my view

metalcore kicks ass over post hardcore or any other form of punk but emo or emocore is gay lol,

[StanleyBradshaw]

I got an LP of NOFX's hardcore covers. It opened my mind to a new genre of punk.

YES.

[LilRedRasta]

atari teenage riot

[Wahoofuck]

damn alot of these bands sound the same

[brenhampsten]

i wouldnt call this hardcore punk its more of new wave hardcore,hardcore punk is shit like MDC,gang green,JFA,government issue etc

[MsMrNoface]

U must Swallow the mic...

[MattL883]

I FEEL THAT HARDCORE HAS TURNED MORE INTO RAP THESE DAYS, FOR SOME REASON THESE BANDS INCORPORATE RAPPING.

[MrIwtat]

have heart num 1!!

[tonyyy789]

excellent list! but its missing Guns Up! brah!

[marcotte1991]

okay you put Have Heart this top 20 complet for me :D !!

[omen1089]

@frankiebklyn1 Hope your insults make you feel superior. I'm sure it was my mistake for feeding the 46yo troll with music you'd have to be high on smack to enjoy on their page. I mean shouldn't you act a little more your age? Its not about mohawks or leather, and it never was.

[flobbos]

Honestly, I don't get it. This is way too metal and too emo for my taste. Where did all the entertaining 80s hardcore go?

[onionbuskut]

im getting fucking tired of mob vocals

[Tomaszek45345345]

The Exploited ?(old Exploited plaing real punk, it this moment Crossover)

The Virus ?

Krum Bums ?

Monster Squad ?

This is my opinion :)

[bobbybrielle]

cerebral ballzy fuckin rocks

[Call4meWT]

Where is Rise Against??

[bilalgill101]

i always wondered what hardcore punk sounded like. now i understand how post hardcore came about, cheers mate.

[303random]

nothing like RKL

[95Mofo]

and green day???

hahaha sarcasm

[omen1089]

@frankiebklyn1 great opinion, these guys should just cover the exploited right! Then we'd have some shit-kickin cover bands whoohoo! fuck individualism fuck expression you killed punk are you happy now?

[BladeEurope]

Metal4ever!!!!!



[AntifaAction1]

i love every song in this vid !!! great job.

[DenyVoidDead]

these bands arent that bad, but they all kinda sound the same, ill stick to keith morris and off for modern day hardcore

[peachway1]

was waiting for verse that whole video. very disappointing. great video though

[gatorben13]

was The Ghost Inside?

[80smetalchild]

old school hardcore is so much fucking better

[MarcadamiaNut]

@80smetalchild thats ur opinion douchebag

[noobishdumbberry]

@80smetalchild I agree 100%. THATS WHY WE HAVE TO BRING IT BACK. You know? Start bands and revive it? There's still some good 80's style Hardcore punk out there

[80smetalchild]

@noobishdumbberry

haha hell ya brother. thats what the whole "new wave of thrash" metal thing is all about. bringing back that oldschool thrash. now we need to start a "new wave of punk"

[ivanar67]

so,russia,serbia,or whereever,unite,dont argue!all the best

[darx1985]

thx for this vid, helped me to find good bands

[meqqib]

[nederbassie]

[qbcolts5]

[FAMOUSxxxFSC]

great vid.thumb up.

and i don't ask for bands who aren't in this list... ;)

it simply is the chart of your favorite bands and understand that...and i found some new.thanks for that.

btw "comeback kid - wake the dead" is the best track.

greets

[thesystemworks4them]

i dont mean to hate. this is a matter of oppinion.

[thesystemworks4them]

have heart would be number one out of these bands. they had the largest impact in my oppinion

[thesystemworks4them]

providence, boston, and connecticut would tell you PRODUCT OF WASTE. real fuckin punk rock. the carrier and have heart would tell you the same. you cant say whos the best when you aint even heard some of the realest shit out there homeboy. dont get me wrong though there are some great bands on there. bad order though in my oppinion.

[1995soadist]

Really awesome!!!But where's

Rise against?

[1995soadist]

@ZeRo46240 Aaaaarrrr!!!But,there is no denial,the were once...

[bennington1993]

@ZeRo46240 ~_-  uuuh... yes they are? listen to "state of the union", one of theyre best hardcore songs ;)

[manky2231]

@bennington1993 actually I think bricks by rise against actually sounds punk.

[Kneehouse100]

@bennington1993 FUCK YEAH, RISE AGAINST

[MarcadamiaNut]

@ZeRo46240 OMFG are u fucking retarded?

[joeycitybaby]

this video kicks ass man,but the most bands in here are a bit hard to find...any suggestions for download sites?

[AsSpR3]

check out STRIKE ANYWHERE

the fucking best melodic/hardcore punk band

cassandratic equation and question the answer are 2 of my fav songs of them!

trust me they are great!

[ScandinavianEmokid]

any of you people who are poptards, technofreaks, rapkids, scenesters, chavs or any other talentless piece of shit who deserves spikes through their skull, stfu. If you don't like it, i don't wanna know and neither does the rest of the people who likes this type of music. keep your opinions to yourself or go trash other genres that's just to serve the capitalistic consumerism machine

[vincevalentine22]

Look. I get that haters gotta hate, but I'm 18 and I have friends who are younger than me, and we all pay homage to bands like Black Flag & Gezza X, so don't label us as shitty scenesters.

[mihanich]

WHERE IS GREEN DAY AND TOKIO HOTLE LOL?

"HARDCORE" MY ASS

[NoRaces]

@mihanich Troll....

[mihanich]

@NoRaces

they're the same shit with these gaybands in the video.

[odaxelagniaproject]

@NoRaces no shit

[NoRaces]

@mihanich not sayin they arnt.... this shit aint punk rock

[weswarren14]

weres green day at. haha im just fucking with you lol

[dusted04]

@weswarren14 haha i think they merged to the top 20 pop bands !

[Realrpg]

@weswarren14 AHAHAHAHA, I needed that man XD

[shavemypubebeard]

i believe stick together brother hood my fate lol i just wrote a song... all alone i suffer my fate sealed born to suffer opeesion not shield i will carry on with my friends strength to defend.family pride the thing i strive.youth youth youth .never change i thought you were there hahahahahaha theres a few lyrics run with it.. lol fists of change.... fsu lol not hardcore! lol beatdown man !!!!! hahahaahhahahahaha you fools will never get it

[shavemypubebeard]

this is that other (hardcore) scene.sure it has breakdowns,chants-cool, u can even mosh to this weak shit but tough guy shit isnt hardcore. look up chaos in tejas or something less shitty.all this shit is is rehashed staright edge over and over id take floorpunch & ten yard fight over this bogus shit. this shit to hardcore is what nu metal is to rocknroll thats why its no longer a threat.is every band american nightmare is this fucking scene overproduced how can u do that to raw agrression.lame

[damon13ish]

hardcore punk is bands like fukin Exploited....this is more emo punky screamo, with weak guitar riffs

[DestroyCrabcore]

RIP Killing the Dream :(

[PostHardcoreItalia]

@DestroyCrabcore KTD ain't dead

[DestroyCrabcore]

@PostHardcoreItalia Not yet, technically, but their last show is June 2/11.

[DestroyCrabcore]

@99xstrenghtx99 Fuck that, hip hop and rap rules. I like some metalcore, and I'll always love the old metal shit and there are even some death metal I still love. Deathcore is where I draw the line though, too BR00T4L for me.

[MykeMetyll]

@DestroyCrabcore

Haha, yeah, fuck deathcore. Vomit-growls, double bass drums, and 16 bpm breakdowns are hardly even close to metal.

[JoshFuckingAlso]

I saw Set It Straight's last show ever. Twa's cool. I don't really care for this new stuff, but like people are saying, it's better than "Xbr00talX" metalcore shit.

[drydust999]

Cool bands man

[timmy2464au]

fuck yea pro team!!!!

[Teuv69]

fuck i love those bands !!! i need more !!!

[TheLolman999880fr]

i shit in the head of all fucker who hate metal this

[Nightjar3321]

@Popser12 you are an idiot. first of all, A Day To Remember is just awful. Second of all you should shot for trying to put them in the same category as the greats (Black Flag, Bad Brains, Negative FX, Minor Threat ect.) they sound just like every other awful band out there nowadays. @Daisyflower1613x I truly respect you as you know what you're talking about.

[julesickdrums]

goddamit make every song at least last 20 seconds

[Daisyflower1613x]

Hardcore sucks now..

[Popser12]

@Daisyflower1613x A Day To Remember is probably the best Punk Hardcore bands still out there..but i agree, most hardcore songs do suck now

[Daisyflower1613x]

@Popser12 A day to remember is not hardcore.

Go look up bands from the 80's and early 90's

Thats real hardcore.

[Popser12]

@Daisyflower1613x my bad. i mean punk, post hardcore

[Daisyflower1613x]

@Popser12 Hahaha I'm sorry I have to disagree with that one too because they are not even close to punk.

[Popser12]

@Daisyflower1613x they actually are punk. let me put it exactly how they have it written. "Pop Punk, Hardcore" that's exactly how it's written.

[Daisyflower1613x]

@Popser12 Hmmmm?? If you say so :)

[TwinkyBone]

@Daisyflower1613x Yeah, I agree, ADTR is not even close to hardcore.

On that other thing, while I see where you're coming from, I still think the hardcore genre has taken a big step forwards, technically and musically wise. I'm not by any means any long time hardcore listener, but I prefer modern hardcore over the old one.

[justinoakley999]

hahahaha "people asking 'wheres hatebreed?'"

... theyre at ozzfest. dont think they'll be coming back anytime soon.

[Seaknifed]

life long tragedy ftwwwwww !

[twistox45]

Um wheres comadre, they should be the winners

[ReeceLiamAllsop]

punks about not giving a fuck if you dont give a fuck your punk

[timmy109]

Comeback Kid and The Carrier all the way! :D

[SoakUpAllTheBlood138]

@XanaX93 all of those genres share some characteristics. grindcore/goregrind was created from hardcore punk and has the most similar sound to it

[EminentFate102]

Only two good bands in this list: Liferuiner and Have Heart. And I wouldn't even consider Liferuiner a top 20...

[nikniggo]

ZECKEN RAUS!

[XanaX93]

Isn't it so, that hardcore punk, thras metal, death metal and black metal are close to each other? Just make the hardcore punk more metalliah sound, tremolo picking and scream/growl vocals.

[BlackMetalerWolf]

@XanaX93 yup :) I think the drums especially sound very similar, although death metal is probably the most different in terms of drumming, but in thrash and black (mostly old school black metal) similar drumming elements can clearly be noticed.

[mega1metalhead]

u got some sweet crowd pics

[BlackMetalerWolf]

I like black metal and hardcore punk :) They are both the most extreme genres in existence :D

[Glodest0]

@BlackMetalerWolf

The moste extreem genres are GrindCore,and Deathcore... Just sayin ;)

[timmit311]

fact: we have very similar ipods ..good picks thank you for not being one of those douche bags that associate every warped tour group with hardcore...one problem though WHERE IS TERROR!?!?

[zSliz1]

alesana is gay

[julz7196]

yeh agree with the dude below...pop/metalcore.

[danceoffAsh]

i recommend /watch?v=USVVyJw18Ec

[gythiyanki]

just listened to a band called "To Kill", new hardcore from italy was amazing - check'em'out

[DenisRockLee]

Is ADTR Hardcore-Punk?

[alseenpotvis]

@DenisRockLee

no man theire pop/metalcore

[agefoshizzle09]

@DenisRockLee Noooooo

[MATUZA0]

GOOD BANDS, RESPET BRO!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!

[icumblood35]

I like that Have Heart was in here, they're good.

[flobbos]

This is lame.

[charlieeemoon0209]

It's fine. Nothing too good though.

[timmy109]

Awesome vid,awesome bands! :D Do you like any Stick To Your Guns or The Casualties? Those are two of my favorites!

[SEZR183]

[nikniggo]

scheiß zecken
