IWRESTLEDABEARONCE: 'It's All Dubstep' EP Available For Free Download

Is there a genre name for this kind of thing? I'm seeing a fuck-ton of bands like this nowadays. Take random silly words, make an old-schoolish extreme metal logo out of them, use lots of purple, green, blue, pink and yellow no matter what the occasion is and combine chugga chugga riffs and screaming vocals with poppy synth stuff in songs that have names such as "The Cat's Pajamas", "Fuck me I am an enormous squirrel lol txt 2 u l8r" and "Cucumber kiwi starship blabbo flabbo pee in my eye". Or is that what metalcore means now?

Pretentious pop
 
You know I try to be open minded, but I just don't get it. At all. I need to go listen to some Ozzy and get this stuff out of my head.
 
I am in totaly agreement here. Cant take this pop syth screaming vocal bullshit anymore. Its really wearing on me. We need some good old school metal out there. Need a new Lamb Of God album or, anothre kick ass Testament / Bay Area thrash band to come in and show these kids how its done.

So tired of this BS.
 
ISHATMYPANTSONCE. It had something to do with a high fever and incorrectly prescribed antibiotics, but that's enough of that.

And what's with this dubstep stuff? I heard some guys talking about "brutal dubstep", proceeded to type "dubstep" into Spotify out of curiosity and was blown away. What the fuck does that stuff have to with dub? And what has the IMOLESTEDAKIDONCE album have to do with dubstep?

Fuck this is confusing.
 
Can that dude with the Hellraiser swing his guitar around more than 75 times per song? Jesus fuck...

Not talking specifically about IWABO here, but you'd honestly rather hear that same shit over and over again?
Bay Area thrash was already once well once, it's time to move on and do something else.
None of what the old school thrash bands are doing anything remotely as good as what they were doing in the 80s (and even up to early 90s for some bands).
I could honestly only listen to the newish Testament, Megadeth etc stuff about 10 times before it just got kinda boring.
Just makes sense to get out those classic records and spin them.
Listening to Sylosis' "Conclusion of an Age" side by side with "Death Magnetic" and Metallica just sound like a big joke in comparison.
You've got one band who is taking that old school sound and pushing it forward, with today's level of musicianship and mixing it up with a few different genres, and then you've got a bunch of guys who aren't hungry anymore, don't play their instruments any better than what they did 22 years ago (if anything, Kirk and Lars just got even worse).
As for Megadeth, let's just say "Endgame" was no "Rust In Peace".

I'm all for something that isn't Attack Attack, Bring Me the Horizon or that easy-core shit that recently got posted (Chunk!, No Captain Chunk!), but old bands releasing those same old tired records again and again isn't helping the situation in the slightest.
If anything, it's just making people more bored of it, and as such they are probably going off to listen to their scene-core because at least it's something newer that keeps up with today.
