Hardline ialah sebuah subbudaya yang berakar umbi dalam adegan punk tegar vegan straight edge.[1] Ia biasanya dilihat sebagai versi kelebihan lurus yang lebih ekstrem, dengan pengaruh daripada falsafah ekologi mendalam. Sejak awalnya, penganut garis keras mengeluarkan kenyataan dan kesusasteraan yang mendorong pandangan biosentrik dunia, yang menyokong veganisme, hak haiwan, pro-kehidupan, anti-homoseksual, dan versi falsafah yang lebih militan, yang menyokong untuk tiada alkohol, tiada dadah, tiada gaya hidup tembakau.[2][3] Pandangan dunia garis keras telah dituduh oleh pengkritik sebagai ecoautoritarian.[4][5] Pengasas bersama garis keras Sean Muttaqi dengan tegas menolak perkauman dan fasisme.[6]
Sebilangan kecil kumpulan garis keras wujud, yang paling terkenal ialah Vegan Reich[7] dan Raid.[8] Earth Crisis telah diselaraskan secara longgar dengan subbudaya, tetapi tidak semestinya diklasifikasikan sebagai kugiran hardline.[9][10]
Zaman kegemilangan garis keras adalah pada awal hingga pertengahan 1990-an apabila bab garis keras wujud di beberapa bandar di seluruh Amerika Syarikat serta di United Kingdom dan Jerman. Walau bagaimanapun, pada penghujung tahun 1990-an, subbudaya kebanyakannya telah pudar daripada kewujudan.[4]

value (bantuan). Dicapai pada April 26, 2022. Hardline politics borrow from deep ecology, biocentrist, vegan, Straight Edge, punk, and other movements and represents the pinnacle of performative moral purity and the avoidance of vice (e.g., alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, abortion, casual sex, eating meat/dairy). It can be found most frequently in the 1990s hardcore punk scene, and bands such as Vegan Reich, Green Rage, Raid, Recoil, Pure Blood, and Uprisin
The “Hardline” faction grew out of the Straight Edge movement in punk culture, and combines uncompromising veganism with purportedly “pro-life” politics. Hardliners believe in self-purification from various forms of ‘pollution’: animal products, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, and “deviant” sexual behavior, including abortion, homosexuality, and indeed any sex for pleasure rather than procreation. Their version of animal liberation professes absolute authority based on the “laws of nature”.
The first step would have to be a dictatorship by vegans who would help speed up the natural evolution process by re-educating those who can be, and weeding out those beyond help (1989). [and] Anyone who’s followed Vegan Reich should know that we’ve always supported the Black Liberation Struggle and have always fought fascism in all of its forms (2020).CS1 maint: location (link)

Buechner formed his band, Earth Crisis, in 1989 with both straight edge and veganism as primary focuses for lyrical content, endorsing direct action from such groups as the Animal Liberation Front and Earth Liberation Front. The ideas expressed by bands such as Earth Crisis would ultimately form a distinct social circle in hardcore known for militancy: hardline. Hardline and its strict vegan message developed a national following in the mid-1990s.
