its a different mentality, yeah, there are similiar elements, but the hardcore of the early to mid 80s allowed little room (there was some) for experimentation. "anti art" was actually a pretty common slogan desribing that era.

Have you heard early Refused? It's hardcore. Their last album was branching out and making something more of the genre, hence the title:
The Shape of Punk to Come. But they were also trying to get away from the hardcore crowd around the time of writing that album.
