Rock and Roll Is Not Collective

Hardcore culture today is defined by its core contradictions: profiteering providers serving idealistic consumers, young people rebelling against one set of rules by embracing another set of rules, individuality being sought through group experience, and pleasure being pursued through pain. Hardcore is a petrified forest that thrills successive generations of young men as they enter it, only to have itself debased, devalued and dismissed when those same young men pass through its far side, some years later. It is artistically impotent, but highly lucrative to those graduate providers who promulgate it, frozen in time, but timeless. Hardcore in 2009 is a manufactured, cultivated, commercial artifice, but it's an artifice that still feels real and has meaning to those inside it.
