As teenagers growing up in Central Indiana, we watched this VHS RELIGIOUSLY. It was a window into a scene we worshipped. Thanks for posting this!

Hardcore until i die! Since the late 80's the Hardcore Bands are still going Strong!!!

Pete and Lou much respect, met you guys at the Citedal in DC when you played with Gut Instinct from Bmore, you all supported the local MD & DC SCENE.

Great vid,this was my life in the 80s so many good hardcore ,and punk bands,I saw almost all the band in this vid.I would do it all over again. Sucks to be 46 lol

Love the VHS FBI warning in the beginning :)

Big ups to Roger for showing love to Latinos🇸🇻🤘

AWESOME. These bands had such an intense stage presence. Harder to find bands with that kind of aura nowadays.

Used to own this on VHS. So sick, watched it so many times. NYHC was the bizz.

thanks for posting this!

I also had this on VHS, Smash Records in Georgetown, DC. So many memories, saw all these bands live when they came to DC. Glad to see some of these guys still around putting it down HARDCORE will never die, true a lot of these guys weren't in it for the $$, just music from the heart.

All these bands were on fire at this moment in time! AF especially we’re just on another level you knew even back then they were and always would be something special

i still have this VHS tape. I love how CIV is wearing SILVER Creepers!! probably the best Documentary still to Date!!!

Toured with agnostic front for a week back in mid oughts.... some bad ass dudes. Roger and vinnie were good people.

such a good documentary

Roger always looks like the coolest guy in hardcore

I bought this on vhs soon after it came out, I wore this thing out.

Im 44 . I got into metal with Black Sabbath as a kid when I was 8 , then Motorhead at 9 , then Minor Threat at 10 or 12 and i was off to the races !!!!! I hung out with punks and skins and all in between as a kid ! But I found my own place through hardcore music . Terror is a band I dig off the top of my head now days . Stick tight !

Hardcore Pride! Sick Of It All king of kings

Damn haven't seen this in years. I'm talking to Roger at this moment while watching this. Damn, to re-live those days......

Great documentary...

If I was in it for the money, I'd be playing with Greg Ginn.

Record exec in the suit looks just like Michael Bolton from Office Space

One of the best HC show I've seen on video (VHS)

I wasn't too much different from these kids, hell I even did a hand full of shows with the Cro Mags and Sick of it all back in their early years. I was proud to see shows put on for kids by kids. Today our worst fears have come true and shows are put on by big corporations. Do these corporations have yours or my best interest in mind? No! So avoid them all you can and support local acts, go start a band, put on a show while we still have the right.

But the fact that that became the dominant sound and for a long time the only genre that my generation wanted to hear..things have gotten dicey!!!!

Murphy's Law!! CBGB.... miss this!!!

Crowd participation, only Hardcore.

I was at this show. I feel like the violence at shows really took hold when the breakdowns were sort of a call to be violent rather than the message of HC. the knuckleheads just started showing up for the beatdowns in the breaks.

The spread of this video caused the NYHC movement for young Japanese people

cool to know hardcore history of hardcore people older then me even I'm 38 now respect for people who put this movie to you tube ,making chance for us to see culture which make big influence on my music views and life style views in my 90's younghood haha but they started this shit 10 years earlier

In Cleveland we had the Spudmonsters!

my neighbors dog sounds like roger miret doing vocals every time it barks

nice good times

Props to you Keith from North Alabama. Shows by kids for kids is alive and well, for the most part anyway. The kids from teen to us in our thirties on up are working hard to play, for free lots of times. One thing that keeps it alive where I live are you guys from the beginning that never lost it by selling out to the corporate rock machine. Living in Cali I could see a show weekly; shaking your hand was a bonus.

I prefer the first wave of NYHC But the second wave is great too

your default pic is amazing. where can i find the full / large jpeg?

Must be a major barricade because a half hour in & not 1 stage dive. I saw AF & GBH in 87 btw

Harley is a contradiction

I go to every show I can when bands I like are in a 100 mile driving radius because you never know when this might be their last tour. They killed off C.B.G.B.'s, and all our other local promoter/DIY venues in the NYC area so what do we have here? Irving Plaza, Grammercy, big venues, big business, big corporations. But they book the bands I want to see and support.

Suicidal was my first show at 14 i was shitting a brick and i believed bio opened

Just met Parris recently.

Who has 2 thumbs and was there....this Guy

I know Rogers almost 60 now, but he doesn't even remotely look like the same person here. Nice socks too! 😂😂

At 21:00 I think Danny Lilker and John Connelly were slightly off the mark there or rather a lot of great black metal with pagan imagery and themes did eventually evolve and has a lot going for it

At 41:29, Jimmy ain't lying, smoked with him, the band and HR at the Safari Club in DC.😁🤘

I was always interested in being a hardcore fella but I never could get past having to be so difficult and precious especially when I got to the middle school level , but also in elementary and so forth I do remember being interested in the genre of Dirtbag punk which if I am not mistaken is an offshoot that took root in the Netherlands approximately 1979-87 , this sub genre has always appealed to me because of the sensibilities of perhaps even creating a sort of hip hop utopia , including all of the angst and also the anarchy type guys .. and also I love the music with the singing and carrying on and so forth it really seems energetic and also graceful .
