The California Hardcore Scene inherited the remains of the New York and English scenes and redirected some of those scenes' desires, revivifying them in new forms in San Francisco and L.A. Each scene learns from past scenes and attempts to avoid their capitulations to commercialism. In California, the punk scene melded together desires from the two earlier scenes to create new strains, more resistant hybrids.
