Question
I'm just wondering, what exactly is the difference between hardcore and punk and what defines the two.

Answer
Well, as far as the beginning of both, punk rock was a super-fast version of 60's beach music and hardcore was a faster version of that that came around about 6 years later.

The definition of "punk" is a young homosexual lifemate for an older man, so let's not get into definitions, and just say that if your band plays fast and sloppily, you're probably a punk band.
