Chicago hardcore

Chicago developed a hardcore punk scene in the early 1980s. Chicago Hardcore is now characterized by fast, hardcore punk rock with familiar sounds to Boston, New York, and Los Angeles hardcore.

Chicago's hardcore scene developed in and around Chicago in the early 1980s. Naked Raygun and the Effigies were popular at the emerging of the hardcore scene. These acts have also been seen as important to the development of the post-hardcore genre,^[1] as well as for fusing the hardcore sound with influences from the late 70s and early 80s British post-punk scene ^[1][2]

Chicago Hardcore was, and still is, characterized by fast punk beats and angry protest lyrics.
