Please take a moment to read our posting guidelines! And for me this is a true testimony of a community that is resilient.Welcome to /r/hardcore- a subreddit dedicated to hardcore music! “Despite the fact that things seem sort of bleak at times,” he added, “people are still doing things, starting bands, making art. It goes hand-in-hand with the DIY ethic that’s so important to the community, no matter how badly neglected these parts of the city can feel. “Art always comes out of the underground,” he said. There’s a difference between art and the art world.” For him, the creativity inherent in punk is the same whether it’s expressed visually or audibly. ![]() “That’s because it’s tied to very sort of classist ideas, and money. “Art is sort of like a bad word to punks,” he said. While fine art can seem at odds with the punk ethos, for Sorrondeguy, the two have always been linked. Sorrondeguy, who also holds an MFA, has two black-and-white photographs in the exhibition. Brothers Ricardo and Juan Compean have included a customized foosball table, made to represent US–Mexico immigration issues. Local artist Diana Solis contributed whimsical drawings. Lupe Garza-Martinez, the drummer of Sin Orden, has a collection of doom-laden illustrated fliers and show posters. In addition to the archival materials, local artists have their work on display.

Fliers advertise benefit shows for a host of causes and organizations: the Children’s Health Foundation in Chiapas, Proyecto Hablo (a local domestic violence organization), Mumia Abu Jamal’s legal defense fund, and a show collecting food as admission for local food pantries. (Los Crudos was active initially from 1991 to 1998, and resumed playing shows intermittently in 2006.) The exhibition is largely historical, and it does a superb job of illustrating exactly what the band is about. Wall text from the exhibition explains that young punks would “run blocks just to catch up with other weird looking kids to ask, ‘Hey, you’re into punk!?’” The first punk show in Pilsen took place in 1987, which is where the Desafinados archival material begins. ![]() Punk trickled slowly into the neighborhoods where the members of Los Crudos lived, Pilsen and Little Village, mostly Spanish-speaking enclaves in Southwest Chicago.
