Japanese hardcore is the hardcore punk scene in Japan which originated to protest the social and economic changes sweeping the country in the 1980s. The band SS is regarded as the first forming in 1977. Bands such as The Stalin and GISM soon followed both forming in 1980. Occasionally Japanese hardcore musicians include elements of crossover thrash thrash metal anarcho-punk horror punk D-beat and grindcore in their songs.
