Behind Hardcore & Punk Music

Behind every genre of music there is a voice and an opinion, for myself that genre happens to be punk & hardcore music.  Almost every generation has its own type of music it can relate to, for myself I can relate to a lot of heavier genres like punk and hardcore. I have learned many lessons the hard way and have struggled with many things my whole life and hardcore music is my way to vent and rid myself of my aggression. I relate myself to this genre because of the musical structure and lyrical content, it's hard to listen to happy songs when I can hear a song that talks about anger, hate and how the real world actually is. The genre was meant to be more than a label, the genre is more like a brotherhood. There are so many friends and people I've met through this style of music just by going to shows and having a love for the music. Nothing can ever take away what I have gained through this genre, brotherhood and most importantly friendship.

Essential Questions

I believe the things that make writing affective, the first thing is outlining and brainstorming your thoughts, eventually figure out your topic and then you begin to collect information and organize your thoughts. The characteristics of gold-medal writing consist of many things such as focus and meaning, content and it's developement, organization, Language and style and Mechanics and conventions. Finally, when evaluating writings of all domains you must ask yourself does this answer the essential questions asked? And does it demonstrate effective writing qualities?
