Being a hardcore listener of some 17 years standing
, I prefer the old days when it was just slamming as opposed to all the kickboxing/martial arts demonstration that goes on these days.
Yes, anyone slamming looks like a goon, but one of the fundamentals of hardcore is that is doesnt matter- you can do whatever you want, thrash around like an idiot and look like a fool...THATS THE POINT. You should feel comfortable expressing yourself anyway you want, and not expected to be judged on your dancing skills. Its all about freeform self expression, baby.
