the whole punk kids who got into heavy music (aka metalcore, post-hardcore, whatever -core) of the early 2000s was pretty cool and not as shithead. worst thing we had going was the never ending feud between the straight-edge hardcore scene and us (the sXe thought we were stealing their music). there were literal street fights over it, bands getting jumped. but the genres were so mixed up, we had punks, metalheads, hardcore kids, all allied for a few years. but then again we just came out of nu metal dominating and punk being very mainstream so it was a breath of fresh air.
