Legacy of ... Youth of Today

KOPPOD's latest installment in their "Legacy of..." series delves
into the influential sounds of 80s straight edge titans, Youth of
Today. A band known for their raw energy and impactful lyrics,
this edition promises to explore the impact and legacy of a group
that helped shape the hardcore music genre and subculture. The
Kings of Punk trace the band's journey from Danbury, CT to a
central role in New York's punk underground alongside greats like
Agnostic Front, with the group developing their sound and making
a greater and greater impact on the American hardcore scene as
they developed the straight edge ethos pioneered by hardcore
musicians like Ian Mackaye and Kevin Seconds. The band's
relationship with Krishna Consciousness and role in the early
development of "Krishnacore" also receives some attention. Stay
tuned for an in-depth journey through the roots of both the
"Youth Crew" subculture and the subgenre associated with it.
