Description

NYHC (New York Hardcore) is an aggressive, street-level punk subgenre that emerged from 1980s New York City, characterized by rapid-fire rhythms, shouted vocals, and occasional metal influences. The sound emphasizes raw energy, breakdowns, and confrontational lyrics about urban struggle, unity, and working-class resilience. It's defined by its intense live shows and the bridge it built between hardcore punk and heavy metal.
