The subculture associated, present, and majorly linked with hardcore punk music is one that has been, and continues to be, filled with pride, hatred, idolatry, sexual immorality, violence, self-mutilation, and many other explicit facets of sin. To deny this would be to deny truth and if a Christian is even going to attempt to step into the realm of the hardcore punk movement, they will need to start by appropriately analyzing the difficulties and temptations that lay before them if they are going to live faithfully within that scene.
