I feel like an elitist douche, so I think I owe you an apology.

I agree with you that it hardcore didn't originate from specifically and only Buffalo. I do however believe it does have some part in contributing to the scene today. Buffalo may not have been the founders of the scene, but it is a place where hardcore is a common occurrence in and around the city. I guess that's what i meant to say. I probably shouldn't have used the word "origin" when trying to explain myself.
I do apologize though, for my lack of accurate information. =)
