sxe

sxe is abbreviation for straightedge, which is also symbolized by X and XXX.

Minor Threat started straightedge in late 80's because of the self-hatred and the over-use of drugs.

The bartenders were told to put X's on minor's hands so that they could not drink. Straightedge kids picked up this idea and marked X's on their hand so people would know they don't drink.

straightedge is a philosophy against: drugs (caffeine, medicine, anything illegal.) drinking (alcohol, caffeine.) smoking (any form of tobacco.)

Some people include veganism, some include not having a religion saying god is a poison. Some people don't have sex until marriage or until a long-term commited relationship.

Straightedge is a way of life, not just a trend.
It has morals, it has beliefs, it is a philosophy that has grown into a movement.

I am straightedge.. and proud of it.
Don't offer me drugs, drinks, or tobacco.
sxe is the way for me!

hardcore

Hardcore is a type of music.

Started in the 80's as hardcore punk.

New hardcore bands include:
throwdown (tough guy hardcore.)
terror (tough guy hardcore.)
casey jones (straightedge hardcore.)
bane (old school hardcore.)
as i lay dying (christian hardcore.)
the chariot (christian hardcore.)
norma jean (christian hardcore.)
written down the barrel (tough guy hardcore.)

Hardcore is type of music were there are low screams with breakdowns for dancing, and the guitars and bass use distortion to give it the messy effect to make it sound hard.

I'm not gunna lie.. terror is a good hardcore band.

grindcore

a fast form of hardcore, usually more chaotic and spaztic.

comes from punk and metal, as the origanl branches of genre.

some grind bands use the high pithced screams, followed by the gutterrolls(pig screams).

some modern day grind includes:
me and him call it us
destroyer destroyer
see you next tuesday
robinson
o' captain! my captain!
heavy heavy low low

grindcore usually doesn't have time signatures or often it doesn't use theory. but it is still very complicated in the notes and chords they do use.

grind bands usually consist of:
1 to 2 guitarist
1 bassist
1 to 2 singers
1 drummer.

a minimal grind band, that i have seen, consisted of:
a guitarist and a drummer.
both screaming.

have you seen how fast the fingers are of that guitarist in the grindcore band!?!?!
