Look, we all know how this list season bullshit goes, right? Adequately paid music journalists sit in bed drinking tea with their laptops, typing up self-assuring paragraphs about each of "the best albums you didn't hear this year because you're not as cool as me" or whatever.
Let's be real, most of the time those posers haven't even listened to half the stuff they put on the their lists but they don't want to not seem cool, because seeming cool is like, the only reasons to be a music journalist in the first place. And if you don't have something on your list that is on other people's lists, then you're also breaking the main rule of music journalism that clearly states you must copy all other music journalists and never form an opinion that isn't shared by all other music journalists.
Well I'm no saint either. Rest assured I'll be writing up a bunch of lists in the coming weeks for various outlets, because, hey, it's very important that I look cool too. But for now, and in the interest of brevity, here's a description-less master list of all the 2016 punk & hardcore records and tapes that I listened to this year. Not all of it is actually the best stuff--in fact some of it is downright horrible--but if I called it "some punk & hardcore records and tapes" there's very little chance you'd be reading this, thus robbing me of the self-congratulatory pleasure of knowing someone is looking at a thing I did even if that thing is just a list with a terrible intro. I'm sorry; I love you.
