Love this writing....I know Punk is the thing here, but even an old boomer can relate. Different time, different music, same experience.
Especially this...
There exists an immediacy in the noise of live hardcore music. Like meditation, the blaring sound forces a singularity of experience. Clashing drums and wailing vocals expand to devour everything beyond the stage. The music’s thrum sits deep in the belly and holds court over the mind.
I find a sense of calm in that noise. The din of hardcore music demands my complete attention.
