yo chappa..you cant lump tight pants in with hardcore my man..actually back in the day it was the style to wear shirts that were way to big for you haha..youll be hard pressed to find any old hardcore shirts that are super small status..

there are actually alot of similarities between hardcore and polo collecting in the sense that alot of people sell and trade old shirts and records(at least when i was a kid..hardcore sucks now) at shows and with friends to keep it alive. i cant speak for other places but in DC back in the day i know there was a few lo rockers and MAD kids that wrote graffiti like my man cast (thanks for the flick) who ive traded polo and hardcore shirts with. not coming at you at all my man just tryin to share my little bit of knowledge like ive seen you bless the site with many times. much respect due
