Scum by Napalm Death + contemporary pioneering grind records (Repulsion, etc)

Everything after is zone of fruitless intensification

Or more like pointless intensification. There are some cool records but the concept has already been fully realized.
MULTI. NATIONAL. CORPO. RATIONS.

Grave New World by Discharge, and the 2nd SSD LP (How We Rock)

The symbolic death knell of the original wave of hardcore ca. 79-84

That burned itself out + everything after is a comment on the original in some way

When Disco morphed into Proto-Techno.

It's a bit of the reverse idea of the thread though. you could say "traditional" disco was over with this track.

"The three highest grossing American films in 1969 were Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Midnight Cowboy, and Easy Rider. All buddy movies with doomed endings. One with real cowboys, one with motorized cowboys, and one with a wannabe cowboy."

" ... The Wild Bunch, Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy, Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice: all are works that are caught in the pull between the past and the future, with some pushing full steam ahead, while others stay behind for an all-or-nothing final showdown."
