But it definatley is more noticable these days because of the bullshit "Fashioncore" bands like Good Charlotte, AFI, ect, ect..... so many bands that are all style and no substance. I think thats why I like the early American Hardcore scene (Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Angry Samoans, Reagan Youth ect.) because it was just jeans and T-Shirts not the cliched uniform and it made the scene real again and it let to some great early 80s alternative music.

Me and you would make a bad ass band. I couldn't agree with you more.
I love all punk but you seem too like the "Hardcore" scene from the D.C area/West Coast... they didn't even call it "punk".
I totally agree with you, Minor Threat was one of my first punk bands and it changed my life...
