None of those bands have been relavent in hardcore (other than on the fringe) in 20+ years.

The fringe is specifically what I'm referencing. I'm not saying punk in general is vegan, or hardline, etc. But the proportion of people within punk who are, compared to the general populace, is obviously much higher.

And I disagree that the scene is only a little more veg friendly than most, I'd say it's much more, except maybe scenes like conscious hip hop or hippy festivals.

Of course, I was specifically involved in very politicized punk scenes, so YMMV.
