Not to speak for Aldo, but I can attest that angry guys who are puritanical about smoking, drinking and drug use don't do too well with women. I could throw a bunch of ideological bullshit out to justify abstaining from casual sex (shame, regret, fucked up gender roles), and there's some validity there, but the bottom…

Sounds legit.

I'm just saying, hardcore is supposed to be a place for misfits and outsiders. If there's room at the table for junkies and headcases, there should be enough room for assholes who wake up angry every day.

My heavens, why do hardcore kids have to be so goshdarn angry? Can't they just be nice and behave themselves?

I'd like to think that nobody would waste their time preaching the benefits of healthy living to Pig Champion.

No, it kind of makes sense. There's an ideological crossover between sXe and Krishna consciousness (besides believing in a blue guy who created the universe), and Krishnas used to give out free vegan food in Tomkins Square Park. 108 is still around, too. Their new shit sounds a lot like Converge, which works for me.

Damn it, really? I guess I'm the only one who's willing to defend Earth Crisis and all the other Victory Records guys.

Wolverine is an invincible ninja with knives coming out the back of his hands. If your problem is that he's not enough of a badass, I really don't know what to tell you.

No, this could be good. Fucking shit up in Vietnam with B.A. and Face and Murdock… I'd watch it. They could bust out of a prison camp with a tank they built from an ox and a bunch of bamboo.

Oh, man. It's like I've been waiting my whole life for someone to raise this topic. Dropkick Murphys fans are the fucking worst.That fake Irish hard drinking tough guy shit…  So fucking awful. It's been a while since he's been relevant, but back in the day Eminem fans were fucking intolerable. I never gave that guy a…

Oh fuck me. I totally did a version of that to an ex-girlfriend, and it's never really bothered me. And apparently that's so fucked up that fucking HipsterDBag considers it to be the worst thing he's ever done? Jesus. I really am a prick.

Fun fact: making fun of the way black people talk makes people jump to conclusions about you.

You're grading on a hell of a curve. GG Allin is terrible.

Ah, bullshit. Every article in the newswire that mentions a female gets the peanut gallery talking about whether or not they want to fuck her. Go look and see if anyone's talking about having sex with Vince Vaughn or Levon Helm.

It's depressing to think that the most amazing technological advances we will see in the future will inevitably be employed for dumb shit.

BOOOOOOO for white power music.

FPS games. Played 'em like crazy from Wolfenstein up until Goldeneye, but never got into Perfect Dark (I'm not saying it's a bad game, just that I personally didn't get into it) and totally lost interest from there. I played Half-Life 2 for the first time less than a year ago, and loved it just like everybody else did…

Counterpoint: St. Anger does not sound like Discharge at all.

@avclub-5fdbaa11bd42c308322756f60f43785f:disqus That wasn't my experience at all. I remember plenty of people who thought Load was awesome when it dropped, and people have told me straight to my face that St. Anger and Death Magnetic were both returns to form. I guess maybe when you talk about "people" you mean other…

At this point, I almost want to turn off adblock to see this horrifying oatmeal ad that everyone is talking about.
