Talk:List of hardcore punk bands

Please add "Since the flood"

undated comment (pre-January 2013)
There is already a list of bands in Hardcore punk. Separating it out isn't a bad idea, but it should probably start from cut'n'paste of the orignal list. Steve-o —Preceding undated comment added 19:19, 18 April 2004‎ (UTC)

comment from cleanup
Redundant and impossible. There were hundreds and hundreds of them. This list is mostly LA, but there are all the Minneapolis, DC, NYC bands, and then there are those from the non-major centers, then there is the UK, and then there is the question of what the point of this list is hanging off in space like that.

 * Then I guess we have alot of work to do --The_stuart 21:49, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * this page needs to be cleaned up a bit... maybe it should be made clear that cheesy mainstream metalcore acts are not hardcore punk. that would eliminate many of the bands on here including: alexisonfire, every time i die, from autumn to ashes ect...   -- freddy


 * Easy way to tidy it - remove all redlinks. If any removed redlinked bands do deserve articles, add them back onto this list once they have articles.  Although really, they should all just be categorised. Proto t c 16:16, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree with freddy. So many more hardcore bands that are better known than the given ones on the current list. I added a few like silverstein and the devil wears prada, but more need to be added. Just surf itunes and related artists and other solid bands will come up. even if hundreds more are added, its better than the junk already on this list... --liam —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.230.60 (talk) 22:36, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Is this page even needed?
Why do we even need this page at all, when a category would fulfill the purpose far easier, without all the cleanup and editing that is required to maintain this page? --Dogbreathcanada 19:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree. I came across this page because it was linked to the page The Minutemen (band), with the intention of removing them from list list as they were most definitely not a hardcore act.  Many, many of the bands on this list are not hardcore punk bands either. Glowimperial 23:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes a web based encyclopedia a list is an important and useful tool for organising information see the Category:Lists of musicians Category:Musical groups by genre, if the current list needs to be cleaned up that is a separate issue. -- Paul foord 23:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Category:Hardcore punk groups pretty much duplicates this list, and where it doesn't, a category tag in the band's article will fix the problem. Check it out. Every band on this list now has an article, so there's no further need for a manually maintained list. I put a "see also" link at the top of the article. If your favorite bands are in the list but not the category, please fix the band's article by adding the missing category tags. Then we can get the database to do the work for us. Thanks. --John Nagle 17:36, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm going through all the listed bands, and putting them in Category:Hardcore punk groups. I've done everything through "C".  If you'd like to help, pick up from there and report here how far you got before you quit.  When the category and the list are in sync, I'll delete the list.  Thanks. --John Nagle 05:36, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Done through to "F". --John Nagle 05:56, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Done through to "L" --John Nagle 05:13, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Done through to "Q" --John Nagle 17:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Done through to "Z". As of right now, every band on the list is tagged with Category:Hardcore punk groups.  Unless there's a strong objection, I'll make this list a redirect to the category. --John Nagle 18:05, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * There has been no objection to a redirect since this page was essentially cleaned out by Nagle. Thus, I'll go ahead and add the redirect. -- H·G (words/works) 18:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Strange preview issue
I just did a overview & edit of this article. Noticed one odd occurrence, when over the band named Attitude Adjustment, instead of the usual preview pop-up, one sees "There was an issue displaying this preview / Go to this page". Going to the page works fine. What's strange is this is the only wikilink of the 100's here that does this. Looked for an answer, but have not found one. Nothing major, just strange. Thanks. – ░▒▓ №∶72.234.220.38 (talk) 22:54, 14 June 2020 (UTC) ▓▒░
 * That band's article was malformed in the sense that it did not have a lead section, which is what the preview is taken from. I put in a minimal lead to fix this problem.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 01:29, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the fast answer jmcgnh !  Makes perfect sense.  I'll do my editing duty and try add a lead section. Regards.– ░▒▓ №∶72.234.220.38 (talk) 01:51, 15 June 2020 (UTC) ▓▒░
