Explained simply
Hardcore punk is a fast, forceful style of punk rock that took shape in the United States in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Minor Threat and Bad Brains were influential early bands; The Clash were a British punk group whose music also helped shape later punk and rock.
Turnstile are a newer American band associated with hardcore, while Zack de la Rocha is the singer of Rage Against the Machine and has longstanding ties to punk and hardcore. Their connection matters because newer bands can lead listeners towards the music and artists that influenced earlier generations.
