'We were treated like enemies of society': Japan's dangerous hardcore punk scene looks back to its roots

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole Japanese hardcore scene thing 🤯. I mean, it's crazy how passionate and intense the music was back then 🎸. It's like they were fueled by this desire to rebel against society and express themselves in any way they could 💥.

But at the same time, I can understand why some people might think it's weird that violence was kinda encouraged in these scenes 🤔. I mean, bands like GISM and Death Side would have these super intense live performances with fans and band members going wild 😲. It's like they were all caught up in this moment of pure adrenaline and rebellion 💪.

Despite the challenges and controversies, it's clear that Japanese hardcore punk had a profound impact on the music scene 🎶. And I love how Ishiya's theories about why violence was so prevalent make sense – it's not just about samurai influences or post-war trauma, but also about this unique musical heritage of Japan's 🌸.

Anyway, what really gets me is that even though this scene is all about individualism and rebellion, it somehow brought people together in the end 💕. And that's something we can all learn from – being part of a community doesn't have to mean conforming, but rather embracing our differences and creating something new and original 🎨.

It's wild to think that music like this is still influencing bands around the world today 🌍. It just goes to show how powerful and lasting the impact of underground movements can be 🔥.
