Devilcore!? Thats bullshit. Exactly what Jazz influence does Noiscore have?
look into somthing called "Avant Guard". both modern jazz and modern symphonic music are really heavy into the avant guard styles

I'm starting two "core" bands.

Powercore - Hardcore mixed with Power metal. Picture a Jamey Jasta style screaming vocal mixed with a Hansi Choir, Sweep Arpeggios during the breakdowns, etc. etc. etc.

Corecore - Nothing but breakdowns.
 
Rapcore - when elements of rap and hip hop are mixed with metal guitar sounds. It could be seen as an off-shoot of the 'nu metal' genre, but really it's a style of its own.

Rap plays an jmportant part, as well as a hip hop feel.

Examples are: Rage Against The Machine, Limp Bizkit

I think that's about right. Rapcore might be the same as 'fubucore', which someone mentioned on the first page. Either way, I think these bands are very overrated, particularly.....Lick Limpdick.
 
Hatecore - an alternative word for RAC (Rock Against Communism) bands.

Discore - anything that sounds like the seminal punk band Discharge.

Norsecore - Norwegian Black Metal. Vaguely insulting, since the old NBM motto was "No Mosh, No Core, No Fun, No Trends".

Queercore - a term used by the outrageously camp pop-punk band Pansy Division.

Hardcore - a large-grained gravel used to provide a solid but porous bed beneath, for example, a driveway. Not using hardcore or distributing it badly will almost certainly lead to subsidence.

Mallcore - a disparaging term for nu-metal, based on the notion that most of its fans are keychained mall-rats.

Rapcore - a slightly less derogatory term for nu-metal, used mostly when it focuses more on rapping than on bonehead riffs.

Metalcore - thrash played by skinheads.

Deathcore - death metal played by skinheads.

Punkcore - a completely pointless term in theory, in practice it differentiates so-called "real" punk (with a small r, since Real Punk is an early name for Discore) from pop or skate punk on the one hand and from the rigid hardcore scene on the other.

Grindcore/Crustcore - Extremely noisy punk rock with guitars that sound like they're "grinding" rather than playing music.

Noisecore - broadly speaking, anything loud that a metal journalist can't classify. Usually featuring a multitude of riffs, time changes and headspinning musical devices, with screamed vocals.

Mathcore - A usually derogatory term for over-technical noisecore, focusing on having lots of absurd time changes rather than being any good.

Carcrashcore - the logical extension of noisecore, where the object is to stuff as many genres as possible into a song sequentially and make even less sense.

Digital Hardcore - anything that sounds like Atari Teenage Riot. Punk rock mixed with gabba and IDM elements.

sXecore - literally "straight-edge-core". Hardcore or metalcore written by militant vegans.

I love Avant Garde. Arcturus, Lunaris, Diabolical Masquerade, Dødheimsgard, Ephel Duath, Green Carnation, etc... all rock.

And I love jazz too, but its damn hard trying to find music in the styles that I like.

Metalcore is not played all by skinheads, almost all the metalcore bands I've seen are made up of emo or punk looking kids with full heads of hair.
Just an exaggeration for effect. The point is that the average hair length is far shorter.
 
I just forget the "Core" for a lot of these newer bands and just call it Short Haired Metal.

Examples of Short haired metal: Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, Black Dahlia Murder(although they don't really have any hardcore elements in their music, they all look like a bunch of hardcore kids.)
