it is pretty fucking terrible indeed.

power violence is a dumb fucking name for a musical genre.
nearly as dumb as "grunge"

"soul" music tells you exactly what it is, music to uplift the soul.
"Rhythm & Blues" is exactly what it sounds like
"salsa" conjures up the vibe of the frenetic Caribbean dance music
"punk rock" is exactly that, rock music made by punk ass mo-fucks, degenerates, reprobates, etc.
"hardcore punk" also makes lots of sense, and instantly gives you a feel for what it may sound like and what it's attitude will be.
"electronica" perfectly describes the music, at least how it is created.
"twee" also describes the sound and aesthetic of a music
etc etc

"power violence" sounds like some stupid fucking juggalo deciding to call his hardcore band something else, because it is "fierce" and "awesome" and "hard", but instead it sounds like a goddamn stupid cartoon

I'll agree it's a horrible name, just like grindcore and new american weird or what the fuck ever the hipsters are listening and swilling PBR to these days.

Derek · 12.17.2008, 06:39 PM

But damn, it sounds so manly.

POWER VIOLENCE \m/

Grindcore isn't as bad a name.. even though I'm not a fan of the genre itself.

Derek · 12.17.2008, 06:47 PM

Isn't there something silly sounding like white belt grindcore?

wasnt power violence a man is the bastard song or something?

dropdead owns a great shop called "armageddon" in providence specializing in extreme metal, noisecore, hardcore, etc...

uhler · 12.18.2008, 01:30 AM

why are we still talking about the name power violence? yes it's a dumb name and i don't think any band actually called themselves power violence. it was a joke name and some kids took it seriously and it somehow became a name for a subgenre of hardcore that no one used, but fans of the bands.

mmm! is that a style of karate ? last year i knew a girl who was a black belt grindcore, she was a very inspired sensei in the art of headbanging...but wasn't Sheena!

Derek · 12.18.2008, 05:29 AM

Haha.

Yeah uhh I have no idea what it means or what it sounds like.

Toilet & Bowels · 12.18.2008, 06:01 AM

i think power violence is a good name for a genre, it's funny.

blunderbuss · 12.18.2008, 08:08 AM

I like it when genres have names that immediately tell me "don't bother investigating this genre, it's really not your kind of thing". Power Violence sounds like that kind of a genre. It sounds like a genre for jocks who think they're above jockdom because they like a really really really alternative type of music. But they're jocks anyway.

Derek · 12.18.2008, 09:29 AM

That's just silly. A stupid genre name shouldn't drive you away from a plethora of good music.
