Using some generally acceptable definition, yes.</p>

I agree with your original statement that genres are too complicated and generally not much help.</p>

But, I refuse to label Still Life "hardcore punk".

ok, here's the deal -- the term hardcore came from bands that knew a few chords and played them faster and noisier than the ramones. moss icon et al were interested in a completely different sound -- one defined by complex rhythms, passionate lyrics, and some franticness. depending on how far removed you were from these scenes, that's either a subtle distinction, or it's the difference between the beatles and ramones. the link that joey posted is essentially a catalog of the most important records for a very specific sub-genre that would be classified by very few as hardcore punk, and which counted still life, moss icon, and raein as important components.

Sorry about that!
Well, now I've learned something at least.
Thanks!

no worries, us x's need to stick together. download the "all the president's men" compilation from that site, it's a great overview of the scene.
