* American Hardcore on the West Coast and the Gulf Coast
* The West Coast or Pacific Coast is the coastline along which the continental Western United States meets the North Pacific Ocean. As a region, this term most often refers to the coastal states of California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. More specifically, it refers to an area defined on the east by the Alaska Range, Cascade Range, Sierra Nevada, and Mojave Desert, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. The United States Census groups the five states of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii together as the Pacific States division.
* The Gulf Coast of the United States is the coastline along the Southern United States where they meet the Gulf of Mexico. The coastal states that have a shoreline on the Gulf of Mexico are Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, and these are known as the Gulf States.

The Masque in California
Red Bull Music Academy presents the 2017 Alice Bag Lecture in Los Angeles, California
"Jim Jocoy was a student at UC Santa Cruz when he first saw The Ramones play at San Francisco's Savoy Tivoli Theater in 1976. That April, the New York native four-piece had released its incendiary debut album, and set off on a nationwide tour that changed American music and culture forever. "The Ramones were sort of like Johnny Appleseeds in that every town they went to, bands formed, people created zines, and zines fertilised a kind of fashion culture," Jocoy recalls. "Together, it created this wonderful energy that I got swept up into."
By the following year, he'd left school and was photographing San Francisco's flourishing punk scene. Jocoy took candid snaps while getting ready for a night out at a show or a club, shot seminal bands like X and The Nuns playing live sets, and made documentary-cum-fashion portraits of this new culture's cast of nocturnal players.
While others photographers across the country captured their local punk scenes in gritty black and white, Jocoy made vibrant colour pictures using colour transparency slide film. If his hues recall the kind of saturation, light, and shadow found in Nan Goldin and William Eggleston's photography of this same period, it's because the NYC chronicler and Memphis-born master shot with slide film, too. In each case, even the most quotidian object or quiet scene comes alive with rich, evocative colour."
