I came here to get one question answered

[Mort Divine]

What is Metalcore? Is there some random -core generator?

Metal + Modern Hardcore

The metal base tends to be melo-death, death, or thrash but I've heard bands make use of power metal before (protest the hero and into eternity.)

 

[Alter]

Interpol is fantastic.

Another reason I love this board.

Does anyone think there will be a blackcore band one day?

 

[ohiogrinder]

They went from crappy wannabe metalcore to somewhat decent Metallica-whoring thrash. There.

Edit: And there music is unbearable.

fxd

are you retarded?

 

[Attilio II]

hmm, haven't you heard the progressions they use in at least 80 other songs?

eww! Trivium!

 

[rfe]

Ohio, your sig is sticking out more than a boner in sweatpants.

 

[Ender Rises]

I hate them because they are massive sell outs, make horrible music except for 2 songs which are decent, and do absolutely nothing unique. There is so much better music out there. I'd rather hang out with a rap fan than a Trivium fan.

 

[Ender Rises]

KSE = predictable and formulaic trash

Bearable at best. They have some good videos, although very emo.

 

[Vitor]

Triv what???

 

[Life Sucks]

why does everyone hate Trivium so badly?

I must say right off the bat, I'm not a big fan of them myself.... but when I hear their music I don't hear anything distinctly bad about their music.... is it just because they wear gay make-up and look like an emo band instead of metal? otherwise I just can't see why they would attract so much more negative attention than the average bland metal-ish band

Yes, it's because they look like an emo band, and have emo lyrics about relationships.

 

[audiophileguy]

they can't write good thrash songs.
the end.

 

[Life Sucks]

They can't write thrash songs, period. As they are definitley not a thrash band.

 

[Alasdhair]

are you retarded?

No! Are you?

Reasons why I dont' like Trivium


4. They attract fans that seem emo.

Yes, it's because they look like an emo band, and have emo lyrics about relationships.

Because lyrics about relationships are exclusive to emo. No one's ever done that before.

Average emo band looks like this

Trivum looks like this

With that kind of judgment, you might want to give your eyes to a terminal patient, because they might work as well for them as they did for you.

This is just a fine lesson in... if you're going to bash a band, at least don't look stupid doing it. :Smug:

I guess we answered the OP pretty well though. Its their look, the way they play, and their personality that many people love to hate above all else. Most of all, hate is great for community unity.

 

[Ender Rises]

You're a douche. Chairman's post was they attract fans that are emo. Try reading next time. And no, they don't look like an emo band, nor do they sound like an emo band... they just suck. Massively. Also, It's nothing about community unity, you're just trying to make yourself sound like you are above us and we're all blind and dumb, mindless sheep with no opinions of our own. Try again.

 

[Vitor]

Why don't you guys take this discussion to the mall...

.

 

[Mr. Nekrophetamine]

Calm down, sir. I'm just throwing out another tasteless opinion - I thought (and still think) calling any band that at least tries to play metal, something like "emo" is ridiculous. Had to call that one out. Let the emo genre and their fans rot on their own. We don't need anything to do with that shit.

Just trying to make a funny. I failed. But you don't agree on the unity part? C'mon, around here, with all these different opinions on music... next to talk of beer and women, we tend to agree on why we hate the bands we do.

 

[Vitor]

next to talk of beer and women

much better

 

[GEEsu5]

metalcore sucks

/thread.

 

[Gold]

nothing wrong with metalcore or deathcore, its better than many other metal sub-genres
