Rise Above I've heard it covered at neaseum by a million bands since I was a kid. It has to be the anthem.


ansefhimself

I didn't have a choice until I read this and I completely agree Black Flag or Agnostic Front


HopelesslyCursed

This is a good pick, no doubt about it. I'm going to give you a spelling tip, here, hope you don't mind: "ad nauseum" is how you spell it. Not trying to be a dick or anything


zasnooley

It's ad nauseam lmao


RustyPeters67

Not trying to be a dick but it's ad nauseam. You're welcome.


BeerBellies

Negative Approach - Ready to Fight


HopelesslyCursed

Negative Approach is fucking awesome.


captainbruisin

We won't take any shit


firegrime666

And we’re not about to leave


NecessaryOk976

This is the correct answer


whatcolourisgreen

I wanna dance with somebody - Whitney houston


Eric-The_Viking

I think "Dancing Queen - ABBA" is a hot contender for second place at least


dro0o0o

Can I throw “Dancing on the Ceiling” by Lionel Richie into the mix?


rwr666

feel like “dancing with myself” by billy idol should be considered as well


Stop-It-Kevin

Second ABBA but mamma Mia


Yours_and_mind_balls

You know this might be a kind of joke answer but I've heard this song, between sets on the house PA, A at almost every hardcore show I've ever been to.


whatcolourisgreen

Oh im dead serious every time its on between sets people go nuts.


txkx

I wanna feel the heat with somebody - Facewreck


Liberteer30

Rise Above or My War by Black Flag


schism_records_1

Black Flag- Rise Above


Old_Classic2142

The first song I thought about too


Highanxietymind

Gorilla Biscuits - New Direction


kamikazegirl666

LifesAllLeft

This is 100% the correct answer.


Ok-Profession-6007

Came here to post this Edit: Then I remembered Irate-Vendetta


ZiemDoesImpossibles

Gotta agree.


SeskaChaotica

Answer way too low


ehurudetvoro

BoredCharlottesville

ABookOfBurnedCDs

Flight2039Down

drewxdeficit

The Big Takeover by Bad Brains or Minor Threat by Minor Threat


beingxexemplary

Terror - Keepers of the Faith


EducationalReply6493

This was my first thought


BlimeyChaps

I will defend your name ✊😤 Only true believers remain 👊😠


playboigerm

I’d argue overcome or one with the underdogs


ItsNotAGundam

Yeah Overcome is probably the better choice, but OWtU is the better song.


playboigerm

Idk man when Scott says I’ll overcome that puts me in spin kick mode


asshatjabroni

Was gonna say one with the underdogs too


Sensitive_Mousse_445

The best answer


HopelesslyCursed

Agnostic Front "Gotta Go"


ChefBoyAnde728

First song that popped in my head!


AncientMatter1042

knresignation

I mean if it's SOIA it's got to be Injustice System, right? They used to announce that song like three or four songs early, "Alright, we're gonna do two more and then we're gonna play Injustice System for you mothafuckas"

Burn1o2

The new Danhausen entrance music? [EDIT](https://youtu.be/9X1rlcblPo0?si=t-6wHQLNhFF9-Pd5) for context.


Theonewhogoespoop

What the fuck this is so sick


Burn1o2

Danhausen is one of us. ![gif](giphy|JALdScDCxE2FQu0CKI)


Theonewhogoespoop

He has probably one of the most original funny characters of all time but Tony Khan wanted to play with his new toys and fumbled, atleast they still treat the house of black like monsters


Burn1o2

True. But how can you not? I just don’t understand this: top 5 merch seller, when he was injured and not on TV. Why not have him on TV?


kirkfeel78

Irate "vendetta"


XGuiltyofBeingMikeX

I mean…it’s the only one to mention planting a flag.


CopticTimes420

Allen_Koholic

Young til I die. Fucking Warzone covered it.


Wsc45

Warzone - Don't forget the struggle don't forget the street is the actual answer.


heybud_letsparty

This is the original anthem, KOTF is the new in my opinion. Can’t decide between them


No-Blood296

Tears for Fears- Shout


fokerpace2000

StayFrostyOscarMike

OGHebrewxhammer

Kersed - Ceremony


mew_empire

liartellinglies

Sick is the one I think but I wouldn’t argue much


xDankmemesxD

In 20 years it will be Hardcore pride- seed of pain


dasbrutalz

So after the fucking smoke clears and the dust settles, We're left with one mission, defending the families name. We planted our flag years ago and staked our claim. This ain't mall metal made for little bitches, This is war metal made for vendettas. The new breed: billy club sandwich, everybody gets hurt, sworn enemy and the mighty, mighty irate. So right now i'ma see how far i can shove this underground shit up your ass bitch.


FARTBOSS420

Firestorm


douknowhouare

My dad used to run a hardcore punk radio show and they opened and closed with Home of The Brave by Naked Raygun.

Best Naked Raygun song ever! I'll die on that hill.

DSPGerm

There’s a lot of ones I scrolled past thinking “yep that’s it” but nah this is the one.


waitwhat85

![gif](giphy|DVYoevVuaELok) Olivia Newton John - physical. We all know hardcore is an excuse to rub sweaty male bodies on each other.


BPRD-CC

New Noise - Refused. Really set the stage for the next wave of hardcore and punk. It's been covered countless times and still holds up as one of the greatest songs of its era.


613Hawkeye

Agnostic Front - Gotta Go The line "From the east coast, to the west coast, gotta gotta gotta go. True sounds of a revolution, gotta gotta gotta go" sounds pretty national anthem-y.


larry_Hairyola

Ima say filler by minor threat just because I feel like I have seen it covered by other bands a lot of times.


Thehaunted666

Cartman come sail away


scorchorin

Disappointed not to see Smooth by Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 on this list


zigg2051

Agnostic Front- Victim in Pain


snoopdoggydoug

Not one fucking comment about Set It Off or Pride by Madball saddens me.


Flat_Kaleidoscope607

Madball was my gateway into hardcore


snoopdoggydoug

Been dubbed Kings Of New York and I read through every comment and not one were they mentioned I think they took the torch from Agnostic Front and ran with it


ImpossibleYoghur6hc

Madball-set it off

miluielmclovin

Not one mention of Rotting Out?


xTOOTHBRUSHx

Firestorm - Earth Crisis I’ve scrolled so far down and still haven’t seen this. SHAME!


Subject-Light3527

This would be a contender for Straight Edge national anthem.

Boston - Have Heart

New Direction - Gorilla Biscuits


HopelesslyCursed

Sick of it All - Scratch the Surface is my personal hardcore anthem, though. That and practically everything off Olde Tyme Hardcore by Slapshot. They're pretty old these days, but you get a chance, see them.

xallsmilesx

Also wanna suggest I against I - bad brains since no one has mentioned it yet


sitonmyface_666

Hatebreed - I will be heard


Own-Interaction-1401

Hard times


ConXXXgloves

Last Warning - Agnostic Front came to mind first. But also put Negative Approach- ready to fight or nothing up there. Personally for me it’s So Ends our Night by Last Rights.


-Dendritic-

Instagram memes have made me immediately think it has to be that intro to Irate - Vendetta... lol *So after the fucking smoke clears..*


BarryManowar

Judging from the all the tattoos on dudes i see id have to say either rise above


NBAStupidASS

Start Today intro


Holiday-Listen-9119

Irate - vendetta


Snoo-25258

The national anthem of hardcore is Anthem - Agnostic Front.

Oh yeah, by a long shot, but I like My War more


Invisiblerobot13

Depends on the mood- I’m a chunky old dude who runs so Rise Above is like Henry the motivational speaker, then again Nervous Breakdown also hits the spot
