History

Hatecore as a variety of hardcore punk

The term, Hate Core ' was first used around 1989 by the New York group SFA to recover from, Positive Hardcore ' lift the, Youth Crew' - straight-edge movement, which the band felt was stereotyped and, hippy '. The tape symbol of SFA showed the band's name in big letters and below on two lines divided the words "New York City Hate -Core", framed in a white rectangle on a black background.

" For some idiotic reason, in the mid - '80s the New York scene split in two, and you were Either a hardcore kid in jock clothes or a punk with a million band- names written on your studded jacket; HOWEVER, we always thought of it as being one type of music: hardcore / punk ".

"For some idiotic reason, the New York scene in the mid 80's split into two camps, and you were either a hardcore kid in Jock clothes or a punk with a million bands on your jacket full of rivets; anyway, we thought it should be considered a type of music. hardcore / punk "

After the group had the notion hatecore used ' on their flyers, this spread and was picked up by labels and fanzines and also applied to other bands, first on groups such as Sheer Terror, which played a similar harsh and hateful style as SFA and had a similar background, but later the term was mainly associated with groups whose style the aufgekommenem in New York and the surrounding area, Metallic Hardcore ' and corresponded, especially for Victory Records releases, but also for militant straight-edge formations even Hardline bands used. With time, however, the term hatecore was always arbitrary, because of the diversity of groups that have been categorized as hatecore and fanzines began about the increasing stereotypy and lack of originality of style to complain. More and more came hatecore become synonymous with so-called Tough- guy' bands. Towards the end of a relatively short boom early 1990s sank hatecore as an independent genre name first again into insignificance and fell gradually largely into disuse. Nevertheless, it was and is hatecore used sporadically even today to describe bands with decidedly non right-wing background. So he appears inter alia in reviews in connection with Hate Club, D- fens, Inflexible, Next Step Up, Wolf Brigade or Blood for Blood on.

Controversy on the concept

One of the misunderstandings and controversies of the "hate " term in hatecore wrote the singer of SFA, Brendan Rafferty, 1991: "For those who still do not get it, im, Hate -core ', as I called him, it's not meaningless, wanton violence or discrimination, as some people have misinterpreted. It is about expressing the true anger about the moral, social and political injustices that we encounter every day. Those who think anger would have no place in the underground, themselves have no place in the Underground. "
