I’ve never given much thought to how I would die. But dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go.

HARDCORE

HARDCORE
Hardcore (penulisannya disambung), kata yang sering disebut banyak orang (terutama remaja) ini sebenarnya bukan sekedar jenis musik saja, melainkan sebuah perasaan yang kuat/peka yang disertai dengan tingkah laku berdasarkan kecintaannya pada hidup. Tepatnya sebuah emosi jiwa. Arti sebenarnya dari “hardcore” ini adalah “yang paling” atau “intisari” (bukan sebuah jenis minuman).
Berdasarkan keterangan di atas, sangat benar kalo dikatakan bahwa hardcore merupakan satu bentuk ekspresi yangg dikeluarkan dalam bentuk gaya hidup dengan pemikiran ke depan dan perhatian terhadap lingkungannya.
Jadi, in other words hardcore adalah gaya hidup, tingkah laku, komunitas terbuka, perasaan, emosi jiwa, kebersamaan, persatuan dan kesatuan, persahabatan sejati, persaudaraan yang tanpa memandang segi/hal apapun.
Nah, kalo hardcore yang berhubungan musik itu apaan? Jadi sekitar era 70’an dan awal 80’an, di Amrik terdapat sekelompok pemuda yang terdiri dari remaja2 miskin yang mencari nafkah sebagai buruh, beberapa skateboarder jalanan, gangster (preman), dan beberapa remaja lainnya yang rata – rata pengangguran (benci sekolah). Mereka semua ini penggemar berat OI! atau punkrock, dan memiliki group band beraliran sama. Para pemuda itulah yg nantinya menjadi pondasi pertama sejarah pergerakan hardcore di dunia.
Nah, mengenai sejarah band2 hardcore sendiri sebenernya banyak. Ada yang terkenal dan banyak juga yang bubar sebelum naik ke permukaan. Beberapa contoh group band Amrik ini adalah S.S. Decontrol, Negative Approach, Minor Threat, Iron Cross, Agnostic Front, Bad Brains dll. Selang beberapa tahun kemudian hardcore semakin menjamur disana dan munculah nama2 spt Cro-Mags, Youth Of Today, Murphy’s Law, Cause For Alarm dll. Nah…Band2 inilah yg nantinya disebut “Old School” karena kata tersebut identik dgn kekerasan, tattoo dimana – mana, mabuk apa saja, dan lirik lagu yg bertemakan hatred, critizing, pure attitude serta para personilnya rata2 skinhead.
Apa itu old school dan skinhead?
Old school adalah sebutan untuk para pengusung street punk/OI! yang berjiwa hardcore. Mereka identik dengan fashion skinhead-nya (shaved heads, boots, dan braces) dan dengan lambang Sanctae Cruce-nya (nama asli untuk iron cross). Lambang itu dipakai karena mereka penganut agama Kristen/katholik yg taat. Lambang itu sendiri diciptakan oleh King Richard dari Inggris semasa Perang Salib, dan sayangnya pernah mendapat reputasi yg buruk karena Jerman juga memakainya semasa perang Dunia 1 & 2. Jadi sungguh lucu apabila ada sebuah band hardcore yang mengaku dirinya Old Shool tp tdk pernah berkiblat pd OI!, tidak satupun personilnya seorang skinhead, yg berani memakai lambing iron cross hanya karena ikut – ikutan, bukan karena penganut agama yang bersangkutan, bahkan mungkin tidak pernah tau apa itu Sham 69, Cockney Reject, The Business, Cock Sparrer, Angelic Upstarts, The 4-skins, The Last Resort, The Crack, Condemned 84, The Oppressed, Red Alert dll…dsb. Mereka hanya tau Sick Of It All, Warzone, Gorilla Biscuit.
Nah, ada yang pernah denger kata Straight Edge ( SxE )? Apa lagi nih? Nama ini berasal dari sebuah judul lagu Minor Threat. Hal ini merupakan sebuah pengendalian diri. Pengendalian hidup kamu sendiri dan bukan orang lain, menjadi seorang yang berguna dan menjadi seorang sahabat yg baik. Setelah itu, barulah kemudian menjadi seorang pacilist, anti kekerasan, tidak merokok dan minum minuman yang merusak tubuh (seperti alkohol dan produk Coca-Cola/bersoda), bebas dari narkoba dan menjadi seorang vegan/vegetarian. Jadi bukan hanya sekedar membubuhkan tanda “X” di punggung tangan apabila seseorang bukanlah seorang penganut paham SxE (Straight Edge).



What is a Football Casual?

What is a Football Casual?

Are they a breed of meathead hooligans looking for any excuse to have a ruck? Are they a bunch of skinheads in bomber jackets and Doc Martens who have affiliations with right-wing political militant groups? Are they chav kids intent on causing public disorder? Whatever your perception is or however you want to label them - I guarantee most of you will be wrong.
Being a Football Casual was and is in it's simplest form, about one-upmanship. The term casual is one that tends to stick the most, but there were also 'Perry's' from Manchester and 'Scallies' from Liverpool and numerous more other regional names for a similar type of football fan.
The Football Casual subculture wasn't about being politically led. Many casuals within the same crews had varying left-wing, right-wing and liberal political views. Neither was it was driven by one type of musical style. There's a wide spectrum of musical styles that many Football Casuals enjoy. Varying from original mod, revivalist mod, ska, dub, indie rock, rave, nu-rave, madchester, punk, post-punk , oi and even more. Football Casual culture had the allure to many of these other musical followers to cross-over to the casual side - and many of them did. Was it a fashion thing? Almost certainly - but not at first. It was a general look thing, which then transformed into a label slave thing. Was it a violence thing? Yes, but it was more of a byproduct of the one-upmanship - a necessity to show that your crew were number one both in the fashion and violence stakes. Violence and fashion were the key battlefields - but under the banner of the team of which you supported.
The need for a country like Britain to have a youth culture which is either led by teenage angst, political anarchy or musical revolution has always been evident. Most recently, ever since the 60's when the mods took on the rockers - these type of tribal clashes of various youth cultures have dominated our shores. I cite the mods in particular, as I believe that many of the fashion principles of mod culture (clean lines, minimal styling) also lie at the heart of the Football Casual subculture. Obviously there also some musical links, but that's where it ends really. The whole art and jazz thing (the original modernists) are certainly things which don't translate in Football Casual culture. Every movement needs a vehicle and with mods it was music, scooters and fashion. It just so happens, that the Football Casual subculture originated from the football terraces and their vehicle was football, fighting and fashion. If you were a mod, it was arguably easier for you to move across - as brands such Fred Perry and (less so) Ben Sherman could translate.
Where and when did the whole thing start? There's been much debate on this, but it's universally accepted that the scene originated from Liverpool in the late 70's. Liverpool were kings of Europe and a number of fans started to pick things up on their travels. Before long, expensive sportswear and designer labels found on the continent were soon also finding their way onto the terraces. Sergio Tacchini, Fila and Lacoste tennis shirts were quite popular around this time. Footwear was taking off too with the adidas sambas and Diadora Borgs Elites. Before long many northern firms were going on 'shopping' trips to Europe to loot a number of German, French and Swiss designer sportswear stores, as security was far more lax than in the UK. Over the course of a few years, everybody was wearing the staple brands, with each individual firms showing preference to particular brands. Suddenly, one-upmanship was all the rage as more and more brands were being discovered, but often varied in popularity from region to region.

By the mid 80's there were brands which were almost essentials and others which varied from crew to crew. Stone Island and CP jackets were essential, as well as vintage adidas trainers. Fila BJ, Ellesse, Sergio Tacchini and Lacoste track tops also grew in popularity. Tennis chic is the look which has probably defined the casual look more than any other. Before long the likes of Armani, Burberry, Aquascutum, Berghaus, Fiorucci and Lois were soon being added to the wardrobe.
When the 90's came around, the focus moved slightly from sportswear to more designer brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, YSL (before it became over commercialised), Paul Smith and Prada began to emerge across the country. However, many of the sportswear brands around at the beginning are still acceptable today. It must be said though that only certain ranges are acceptable. For instance Lacoste 1212 polo shirts, v-neck and crew neck jumpers are all okay - but not Lacoste baseball caps or t-shirts.Another example is Fred Perry twin tip polo shirts - but probably only the twin tips. Again, this varies from region to region and cannot be assessed scientifically.
Football hooliganism in England dates back to the 1880s, when what were termed as roughs caused trouble at football matches.[5] Local derby matches would usually have the worst trouble, but in an era when travelling fans were not common, roughs would sometimes attack the referees and the away team's players.[97] Between the two World Wars, football hooliganism diminished to a great extent, and it started to attract media attention in the early 1960s. A moral panic developed because of increased crime rates among juveniles, and because of the mods and rockers conflict. Football matches started to feature regular fights among fans, and the emergence of more organised hooliganism.[97] Fans started to form themselves into groups, mostly drawn from local working class areas. They tended to all stand together, usually at the goal-end terrace of their home football ground, which they began to identify as their territory. The development of these ends helped bring about national gang rivalries, focused primarily around football clubs. With the growth of fans travelling to watch their local club play away matches, these gangs became known as hooligan firms, and during matches they focused their attentions on intimidating opposing fans.[97] Some hooligans travelled to games on the Football Specials train services.
Starting in the late 1960s in the United Kingdom, the skinhead and suedehead styles were popular among football hooligans. Eventually, the police started cracking down on people wearing typical skinhead clothing styles, so some hooligans changed their image. In the early 1980s, many British hooligans started wearing expensive European designer clothing, to avoid attracting the attention of authorities. This led to the development of the casual subculture. Clothing lines popular with British casuals have included: Pringle, Fred Perry, Le Coq Sportif, Aquascutum, Burberry, Lacoste, Timberland, Lonsdale, Sergio Tacchini, Ben Sherman, Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie and Fitch and Stone Island.
During the 1970s, organised hooligan firms started to emerge with clubs such as Arsenal (Gooners, Herd) Birmingham City (Zulus), Derby County (Derby Lunatic Fringe), Chelsea (Headhunters), Everton FC (County Road Cutters)(Barnet B.U.G) Leeds United (Leeds Service Crew), Southampton FC (The Deceased Crew),QPR (C Mob,Ellerslie Enders), Burnley FC (The Suicide Squad), Liverpool FC (The Urchins), Manchester City (Guvnors, Young Guvnors, Mayne Line Service Crew) Manchester United (Red Army), Portsmouth (6.57 Crew), Sheffield United (Blades Business Crew) and West Ham United (Inter City Firm). Lower league clubs also had firms, such as Blackpool's Rammy Arms Crew and Millwall's (F-Troop), Sunderland AFC (the vauxies, seaburn casuals)and Stoke City (Naughty Forty) . Two main events in 1973 led to introduction of crowd segregation and fencing at football grounds in England.[98] Manchester United were relegated to the Second Division, and the Red Army caused mayhem at grounds up and down the country, and a Bolton Wanderers fan stabbed a young Blackpool fan to death behind the Kop at Bloomfield Road during a Second Division match.
In March 1985, hooligans who had attached themselves to Millwall were involved in large-scale rioting at Luton when Millwall played Luton Town in the quarter final of the FA Cup. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's immediate response was to set up a "War Cabinet" to combat football hooliganism.[100] On 29 May 1985, 39 Juventus fans were crushed to death during the European Cup Final between Liverpool and Juventus at Heysel Stadium in Brussels; an event that became known as the Heysel Stadium disaster. Just before kick-off, Liverpool fans broke through a line of police officers and ran toward the Juventus supporters in a section of the ground containing both English and Italian fans. When a fence separating them from the Juventus fans was broken through, the English supporters attacked the Italian fans, the majority of whom were families rather than ultras who were situated in the other end of the ground. Many Italians tried to escape the fighting, and a wall collapsed on them. As a result of the Heysel Stadium disaster, English clubs were banned from all European competitions until 1990, with Liverpool banned for an additional year.
On 11 May 1985 a 14-year-old boy died at St Andrews stadium when fans were pushed onto a wall by Police which subsequently collapsed following crowd violence at a match between Birmingham City and Leeds United.[104][105] The fighting that day was described by Justice Popplewell, during the Popplewell Committee investigation into football in 1985 as more like "the Battle of Agincourt than a football match".Because of the other events in 1986 and the growing rise in football hooliganism during the early 1980s, an interim report from the committee stated that "football may not be able to continue in its present form much longer" unless hooliganism was reduced, perhaps by excluding "away" fans.
Margaret Thatcher, UK Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990, made a high-profile public call for the country's football hooligans to be given "stiff" prison sentences to act as a deterrent to others in a bid to clamp down on hooliganism. Her minister for sport, Colin Moynihan, attempted to bring in an ID card scheme for football supporters.
The government acted after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, when 96 fans died, bringing in the Football Spectators Act 1989 in the wake of the Taylor Report However, the Hillsborough Justice Campaign states: "the British Judicial system has consistently found that violence or hooliganism played no part whatsoever in the disaster". On 15 February 1995, England played Ireland. English fans started to throw items down into the stand below and rip up seats; after battles broke out between police and English fans, 50 people were injured. Rumours of IRA retribution at Dublin Airport never materialised and no fixture has been arranged between the two neighbouring countries since.
English and German fans have a rivalry dating back to the late 1980s. Other occasional clashes have occurred with a few other teams since the mid 1980s.[114] France 98 was marred by violence as English fans clashed with the North African locals of Marseille, which led to up to 100 fans being arrested.[115]
In the 2000s, English football hooligans often wear either clothing styles that are stereotypically associated with the "[casual]" subculture, such as items made by Shark and Burberry. Prada and Burberry withdrew certain garments over fears that their brands were becoming linked with hooliganism.[116] English hooligans have begun using Internet forums, mobile phones and text messages to set up fight meetings or provoke rival gangs into brawls.[117] Sometimes fight participants post live commentaries on the Internet.
Football violence in British stadiums declined after the introduction of the Football Spectators Act, and in the 2000s much of the trouble occurred away from stadiums or away at major international tournaments.At Euro 2000, the England team was threatened with expulsion from the tournament, due to the poor behaviour of the fans. Following good behaviour in the Korea-Japan 2002 and Portugal 2004, the English reputation has improved.[120] At the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, there were limited incidences of violence, with over 200 preventative arrests in Stuttgart (with only three people being charged with criminal offences) 400 others taken into preventative custody During that day, Police believe that on average each rioter consumed or threw 17 litres of beer.[122]

SCOTTISH CASUALS

THEY were the days when a thirst for violence merged with a love of fashion, days when rival football fans turned on each other in bloody battles, days which forged one of Britain's most controversial youth movements, whose lasting impact has been airbrushed out of history by social commentators unable to make sense if it.
The height of the casual movement . . . and its effect on Scotland, particularly Aberdeen . . . is recalled in Congratulations, You Have Just Met The Casuals, a new tome that tries to shed light on the phenomenon, even if it's unlikely to rewrite the history books.
Its author, Dan Rivers, is a former member of the notorious Aberdeen Soccer Casuals (or the ASC as they became known).
His blow-by-blow accounts of street and terrace battles are unlikely to change the minds of those who long ago decided casuals were unworthy of cultural examination.
Yet there is a small but growing number of voices who believe the legacy of the casual cannot be so easily dismissed, who argue that it can be found on every street in every town and city in Britain; that its impact on popular consciousness still affects the way society perceives young men; and that its influence can be felt on the music young people listen to and on the clothes they wear.
For Stuart Cosgrove - television executive, broadcaster and devoted football fan - casuals are the great hidden subculture of British life, unloved by virtually everyone.
"Mainstream football fans resent their violence, sociology lecturers can't think of anything interesting to say about them and even the companies whose labels they sport, such as Burberry and Stone Island, just wish they would go away, " he says. "Unlike the punks and the mods, they have nobody theorising on their behalf.
Academia should learn to love casuals."
The movement began in the late 1970s, ostensibly when Liverpool fans followed their team to Europe and were exposed to fashions not widely available in Britain.
Take labels such as Fila, Lacoste, Burberry and Kappa, add a taste for serious fighting and a new youth culture was born.
It was, according to cultural commentator, former NME journalist and Oasis biographer Paolo Hewitt: "One of the biggest workingclass youth cults ever, " but because its home was the football terraces [which at that time were entirely the preserve of the working class] rather than universities or art schools, it went largely unexplored by the media.
Author Phil Thornton, a former Manchester United casual, grew so sick of reading books about British youth culture and British dress sense that relegated casuals to a sentence or a paragraph that he wrote his own account of the movement, called simply, Casuals. "You get a lot written about punk and mod but there was nothing there that addressed casuals at all, " he says.
As with every youth movement before and since, it was the clothes that marked the casuals out. "It wasn't even being covered by the fashion magazines, " says Peter Hooton, the former frontman of indie group The Farm, who was editing an influential football fanzine called The End in Liverpool as the 1980s began.
From its pages, Hooton derided the violence that was becoming such an integral part of British football, but in every other respect he was a fully paid-up member of the casual army. He didn't start The End to chart a subculture - he was a football fan first and foremost - but he grew increasingly annoyed at what he saw as a metropolitan dismissal of a genuine working-class movement.
"I remember Kevin Sampson [later The Farm's manager and now an author] writing to The Face in the early 1980s with a piece about casuals and they rejected it. They said there is absolutely no interest in that subject. That was their attitude."
Hooton remembers his first brush with casualdom. "This lad came into a pub in Liverpool, must have been 1978 or 1979, and he had a pair of strapover training shoes on. Everyone was amazed. They said, 'Where did you get them from?' and he just went, 'Switzerland.' And that was it."
It's generally accepted that the casual has "Made in Merseyside" stamped indelibly in his DNA. Easily the most successful team in Britain throughout the 1970s, Liverpool FC were also dominating European competitions from 1977 onwards. And where the team went - Rome, Paris, Madrid - significant numbers of fans followed, picking up items of sportswear unavailable in the UK. By the late 1970s, away fans visiting Liverpool's Anfield ground would have noticed clusters of outlandishly dressed young men in exotic-looking tracksuit tops and shiny new trainers. Later these same fans would adopt tweed jackets, deerstalkers, even tennis and cricket gear, as terrace fashions changed with the seasons.
In 1981, Liverpool won their third European Cup Final in five years, beating Real Madrid in Paris. Hooton was at the midweek game and, like thousands of other fans, travelled over on the ferry the weekend before. As well as football, he had training shoes on his mind: a rumour had spread about a shop in Paris called The Adidas Centre which sold trainers unavailable anywhere else. It was the Holy Grail as far as Hooton and hundreds of other Scouse soccer casuals were concerned. They spent all weekend scouring the city looking for it.
"It was a myth. I don't think it ever existed, " he says. "But by the Monday morning, all the sports shops in Paris had either shut or they had bouncers on the door."
The labels so beloved of the casuals are hardly more enthusiastic about the link. "You have all these labels like Prada, Burberry, Armani, and they all want nothing to do with it because of its connection with football violence, " says Hewitt. "On the other hand they're making millions of pounds out it."
Examine the leisure-wear industries today and you'll find multi- million pound operations feeding an appetite for training shoes and sports wear that is a direct result of the casuals' love of labels. The racks in every high-street sports shop now groan under the weight of retro trainers such as Adidas Stan Smiths or Puma G Vilas.
Last month, Burberry's chief executive Rose Marie Bravo said the label's adoption by "chavs" - the English equivalent of neds - "probably had not helped" the upmarket brand's UK performance.



Some commentators have tried to depict the casuals' adoption of brands such as Pringle, Aquascutum and Barbour as signs of an aspirational intent. "I've always thought that was bollocks, " says Thornton. "Essentially, most casuals were aesthetes. They were into the look of clothes and the feel of clothes and it just so happens that these things are the nicest.
They weren't making any comments about subverting the class hierarchy.
"I think the dandified male has been a recurring theme throughout British youth culture. There's always been this British working- class obsession with fashion and not allowing yourself to be browbeaten. You dress in a way that marks you out as special."
It was this obsession with labels that helped the casuals movement take root in its first Scottish city, Aberdeen. Rivers traces the impetus for the formation of the ASC back to a European cup match between Aberdeen and Liverpool in October 1980: "On that day, a section of the away support were seen dressed in 'trendy' sportswear - designer tracksuits and top-of-the-range trainers - rather than the traditional club supporter's uniform, which was normal clothes adorned with the team's colours of red and white."
Inspired, some Aberdeen fans took up the mantle and were soon scouring the country for hard-to-find, or just plain expensive, items of clothing. Like the Liverpool casuals they also had their own European shopping excursions to look forward to - in the 1983 European Cup-Winners' Cup competition, Aberdeen disposed of the mighty Bayern Munich and then beat the even mightier Real Madrid in the final in Gothenburg.
A year later, in the same competition, they went out in the semi- finals to Porto.
Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Hungary, Portugal: over a two-year period Aberdeen fans visited all these places and, unlike the Liverpool casuals, many had oil money in their pockets to fund their clothes purchases.
Gradually the casual trend spread throughout Scotland, with Hibernian and Motherwell the two other clubs at which the new look found the most favour. Until these sides "turned trendy", it was usually with their skinhead followers that the ASC would wage war. With the birth of the casuals, the numbers doubled. Hundreds would fight pitched battles in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee.
The ASC were the first, biggest, and most feared of the crews that plagued Scottish football in the 1980s. Week in, week out, Rivers and his sharp-dressed soldiers would do battle with other gangs: Hibernian's Capital City Service, Motherwell's Saturday Service or perhaps The Utility, a combined gang made up of Dundee and Dundee United supporters.
The publication of Rivers's book, compiled from the notes and diaries he kept at the time, supposedly marks the 25th anniversary of the gang's foundation in 1980, though that in itself is a hazy concept.
It's not as if there was ever an inauguration ceremony. It is the latest addition to what has become a minor publishing industry.
One of the earlier books in the hooligan memoir canon also featured Aberdeen FC.
Jay Allen's Bloody Casuals, published in 1989, is still regarded as one of the best of its kind though it's now out of print. Edinburgh Central Library's single copy is kept under lock and key in the reference section because all the others were stolen, a common fate for books of its type. Fill out the requisite form and a librarian will bring you a slim, well-thumbed volume straining with expletives; an unabashed celebration of fists, Fila and football.


If the violence is the least attractive aspect of the casual phenomenon, its influence on the music industry was altogether more benign. By the end of the 1980s, the casuals melted away from the football grounds. One important factor was the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death during an FA Cup match.
In the tragedy's aftermath football cleaned up its image. As police and authorities clamped down, the writing was on the wall for the terrace culture that had spawned the casuals. Even the terraces themselves went, swept away by a report into the Hillsborough disaster which recommended the introduction of all-seater stadia.
But that wasn't the end of the casuals' influence. Lured into nightclubs by the house music explosion, the casuals were transformed from rowing hooligans into loved-up ravers by a new drug, ecstasy.
Bands like Manchester's Happy Mondays, former casuals to a man, took the fashion style that had developed on the terraces and put it into the nightclubs where it became the dominant look.
The influence can still be seen in acts such as two-time Mercury Prize nominee Mike Skinner, who records under the name The Streets. "He's probably the most visible ambassador, " says Thornton. "If you look at what he wears it's not that dissimilar to what kids were wearing in the late 1970s in Liverpool. He might be wearing Reebok instead of Adidas Samba and a Stone Island coat instead of a Peter Storm cagoule but the look's the same." Liam Gallagher of Oasis was an earlier version, though in the mid-1990s, the media had a different label for people who dressed like him: "polo geezer". The terms may change, but society's attitude remains the same.
When Aberdeen take on Hibernian in a vital league game at Easter Road this Saturday, scan the crowds heading to the match and you'll see practically every young fan sporting something of the old casual uniform. It might be a pair of designer trainers or a Lacoste polo, it might be a CP Company jacket or, for the wellheeled few, a Pounds500 Stone Island coat. The casuals have grown up and calmed down but in our brand-obsessed 21st century, their legacy is everywhere.
