San Francisco hardcore - Definition and Overview

San Francisco had a hardcore punk scene that was a bit more humorous and playful than other, more raw scenes of the 1980's. Unlike most scenes, the San Francisco hardcore scene went on with little local conflict due to the city's liberal culture.

The two most notable bands of the scene were Dead Kennedys and Flipper. The Dead Kennedys, along with Los Angeles's Black Flag became the commonly known hardcore bands, though they were still unknown to mainstream America.
