On Tony Rettman and Killed By Hardcore (Part One)
First things first. Thanks to Rettman for writing on a much dismissed topic in a reasonably intelligent manner. And thanks to Blastitude for posting it a ways back. Lastly, head over to Punk Not Profit and peruse those posts. It’s kind of like an encyclopedia for shut-ins.
What all of this has to do with, though, is the backwards glance, the re-evolution of something (anything) through the guise of a few years on. That’s not bad or good, but an interesting way to assess a movement or an endgame that was once, most likely, just short of tangible.
