I'm not talking about things like Blondie's Rapture or 'World Destruction', or the Beastie Boys. I'm more curious about the rise of both musical cultures affected each other on a personal level, in the streets and venues in NYC. Was there any kind of significant crossover in fan bases? Memorable concerts with both kinds of music? Side note: This 'Pop Music' topic is producing some really interesting stuff. I like.
Just commenting to say I'm super interested in this question! I was pretty involved with the DIY punk and hardcore scene in my early 20s and I often thought that there were a lot of similarities between punk and hip-hop. Would love to explore this!
