Italy - Emilia Romagna


I come from Emilia Romagna in the north of Italy. Here a real hc scene doesn't exist at the moment.
The hardcore people are divided into two different kinds:

-Political Hardcore Scene : these people in their lyrics talk about antifascism, animal liberation, anarchism/communism and veganism. They listen especially to thrashcore/fastcore and italian 80's hc bands. The shows are in the squats ("Centri Sociali").

- "Club" Hardcore Scene : these people in their lyrics talk about their problems and emotions, and often are influenced by posicore lyrics. They listen especially to USA hardcore bands and metalcore. The shows of their bands, often, are in the clubs (for example Vidia club of Cesena and Blogos in Bologna).

A good sense of community doesn't exist now. Some people talk about the "unity of the hardcore scene" but in Italy this word doesn't exist. The people in the italian scene are victims of "Fashion Before Passion," they prefer clothes.
Often attitude doesn't exist, brotherhood doesn't exist, unity doesn't exist. All in all it is a sad thing.

Emilia Romagna hardcore bands:

BANxTHIS RIP
