Boston Hardcore

Boston had, along with the DC scene, a Straight Edge mentality and a suburban upbringing. The New York scene was based around the lower East side and seemed very street and violent compared to Boston. It also had beggars, Krishnas and other oddities. They were a group of about 20-30 people who used to follow SS Decontrol everywhere they went [and would crew for each other if not all bands were not playing]. There are numerous stories about what they did. One is how they used to roll into New York shows in SS Decontrol's black windowless van with X's painted on their heads. And if they saw a kid in the pit without an X on his head, they'd punch him as he was from New York. Yes, there was a lot of tension between the Boston and the New York scene.

Boston and DC had great music, but sadly most of the kids were from upper middle-upper class families. Hardcore Snobs. Sad considering that SSD is one of my favorite bands
