Hardcore music vs. punk/ska

In time people have always looked down on hardcore music and said it was just a bunch of screaming and yelling but there’s much more to it than that. People always say hardcore music is just low tunings and breakdowns and open chugs but its not. Its a lot more harder than that, theres sweeps, scales, 6/8 breakdowns. Its a lot different than punk or ska music. Punk and ska music is based around 3 to 4 power cords, and up strokes. There is no ska or punk musician that can even come close to comparing to any musician in the hardcore music genre. I have been playing guitar for 7 years and Iv went from playing classic rock, southern rock, blues, metal, indie-pop, punk, ska  and hardcore and nothing I have ever played has given me as much of a struggle hardcore music has. Its like a jedi moving to the darkside and finding out much more powerful the sith is then the jedi. Hardcore music is very underestamted so I say give it a chance and listen to it instead of just bashing it off the back.
