This picture book is a fine snapshot of change in the American hardcore scene ... over the prime punk colorful west coast audience, over the innocent youth of DC or Boston, here is the violence that emerges from New York and is preparing to take over the scene. Some punks still dragging but gradually the skinhead takes place (skinhead U.S., which has nothing to do with the European skinhead but that's another story), ie the nag that comes for the violence of a concert and whose narrow-mindedness goes hand in hand with the hardcore music impoverishment in the late 80s (and why pioneers groups stop or split, to avoid being labeled hardcore ...). Nevertheless stay here nice pictures of a bygone era, pictures of anonymous girls and boys, with casual poses and happy, who came to have a good time listening to good music!
