December 5-6 at Union South will be "Hardcore Fest," two days of hardcore bands, videos, and political stuff. Last night at the Music Committee meeting, the girl who presented Hardcore Fest to us played some samples of "hardcore," "metalcore," "emocore," and "grindcore." Apparently missing was "noisecore," which she claimed was similar to "grindcore." Apparently, metalcore has more heavy metal guitars and emocore has more whining. My untrained ear could not really tell the difference. But really, what do I know?
