Were Nicole Scherzinger and Darby Crash both American punk rock vocalist and songwriters?
Nicole Scherzinger Nicole Scherzinger ( ; born Nicole Prescovia Elikolani Valiente; June 29, 1978) is an American recording artist, actress and television personality born in Honolulu, Hawaii and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. She performed initially in high school plays, and studied at Wright State University before dropping out to pursue a musical career alongside the American rock band Days of the New and later auditioned for "Popstars", becoming a member of the short-lived girl group Eden's Crush. She rose to fame as the lead singer of the burlesque troupe-turned-recording act the Pussycat Dolls, who became one of the world's best-selling girl groups. During their hiatus, Scherzinger planned to embark on her solo career with "Her Name is Nicole", but it was later shelved after four singles failed to impact the charts significantly.
Hardcore punk Hardcore punk (often abbreviated to hardcore) is a punk rock music genre and subculture that originated in the late 1970s. It is generally faster, harder, and more aggressive than other forms of punk rock. Its roots can be traced to earlier punk scenes in San Francisco and Southern California which arose as a reaction against the still predominant hippie cultural climate of the time. It was also inspired by New York punk rock and early proto-punk. New York punk had a harder-edged sound than its San Francisco counterpart, featuring anti-art expressions of masculine anger, energy and subversive humor. Hardcore punk generally disavows commercialism, the established music industry and "anything similar to the characteristics of mainstream rock" and often addresses social and political topics with "confrontational, politically-charged lyrics".
