Some things just go together, Spaghetti would not taste the same without meatballs, peas are just broken families without their pods, Mickey is just a mouse without minnie, bacon isn't breakfast without some eggs. Ironically the scientists of sound and the masters of music have found through intense investigation and experimentation that the relationship between two complete opposite music genres can have unpredictable and explosive results.
It has come to my attention that two opposites attract. Hardcore punk rock has formed a magnetic connection with the South African genre, Kwaito. The connection alone is explosive and the genre is sure to hit your ears with aggressive intensity and a powerful soul.
Kwaicores Agenda:
We want you! To join the ranks and stand in line as part of one of the greatest armies in history. With our instruments as our weapons and our voices as our war cry. For the sake of all that is underground and sacred we will protect and express the secrets of our youth. We vow to speak our minds and spread the truth with brutal honesty. We vow to support the locals, drink lots of beer and sing sober thoughts. We don't sleep at night but when we do we dream of freedom. We are part of the revolution and we welcome the urban rebel youth to unite under the Umbrella of Kwaicore. A movement of music that moves you. This is the music that will bring us together as we vow to never forget where we came from, always look out for each other and keep our cities safe from mainstream. We are the rebel youth, we are non-conformists and we have "no bullshit" policy. We don't care if you like us but we'd love if you joined the Kwaicore cause.

I know you've heard the murmurs, the whispers on the street and the silent drums that beat through the city. It's on the tip of everyone's tongue and at the back of everyone's mind. It is a movement that is spreading from instrument to ear drum, from voice boxes to elite crowds attempting to exile the elitists.
A revolution is on the rise, we are gathering our forces armed with our voices and instruments of melodic assault. It is the genre that speaks of collaboration, unity and the coming together of our beloved Durban stone city.
This is kwaicore. The music genre with an agenda. It is a collaboration of many generations of collaborative music and is mainly a mixture of Kwaito and Hardcore punk rock.
The word Kwaito actually originates from the Afrikaans word "kwaai" which means "angry" or in the more colloquial sense "cool". The name shows the integration of the oppressed and the oppressor and the genre led a post apartheid township subculture into the mainstream. So that puts the "Kwaai" in Kwaicore.
The word Hardcore was used to describe a person or movement who was intensely loyal. When punk rock came about, the word hardcore was put in front of it to give meaning to tracks with particularly explicit or aggressive content. The genre also pioneered through oppression and developed a lifestyle to match the in your face, no fear lyrics of political uproar. The core of this new developing genre is this:
We are not afraid to speak our minds.
Listen to our music.
Hear what we have to say.
