(antiMusic) "100$ for a show IS NOT HARDCORE!!!!!" So reads the Myspace page for one individual who has taken up the battle of calling for a boycott of Hellfest because it has gone corporate. Below is the general call for the boycott, check out the full story link for more. "I don't know about you, but I think that hardcore is dead and the values that once brought us together are history. $100 bucks for a show is outrageous, even if there are so many bands playing. I do understand that there are expenses to cover and whatnot, but come on!!! This is a slap in the face to the hardcore community. I know that there are so many people out there who are going and can afford to go but there are just as many who want to be a part and are going to be left out. Hardcore USED to be a community... now the community is so large that even the people who started it "back in the day" are selling it out (youth of today...bold). What is it all coming to? I think that the idea of a HUGE fest is great...but WHAT is this really for? The "KIDS" or " THE BUSINESS?"... TAKE BACK WHAT WAS ONCE YOURS!!!!! $100 for a show IS NOT HARDCORE!!!!!" - Click here for the Full Story
