| The origin of the term 'hardcore punk' is murky. |
| It's worth noting that hardcore aficionados, male and female, circa 1980-84, were subject to violence not only by police, but by classic-rock and heavy-metal fans, rednecks, jocks, 'cowboys,' 'guidos,' and expressive citizens in general, outside of certain urban areas (most hardcore punks were suburban, and many in the US were rural, and/or Southern). |
| Moreoever, it was believed by these die-hard hardcore punks that these new long-haired intepreters of hardcore were merely engaging in contrivance and attempting to mimic emotions, such as raw anger, that they truly did not feel. |
