Hardcore 90

At the end of the 1980s, the first generation of Brazilian punk rock lived a cycle of violence and self-destruction. In the opposite direction, the beginning of the next decade sees the emergence of a powerful and tuned in generation that amplifies the echoes of punk, coming up with new subgenres. More politicized, united and socially conscious, the 1990s crop came along to put an end to the conflicts of the “old-timers” and bring new life to an engaged and active scene, ushering in new talent to the Brazilian music landscape, with important names such as No Violence, Agrotóxico, Ação Direta, Garage Fuzz, Dominatrix, among others.
