Metalcore: Why?

[Hatebreeder]

Seriously, what the hell is up with metalcore? So many misled youth are listening to metalcore bands and claiming that they're the "heaviest fucking thing you'll ever hear" when they'd shit their pants if they heard Deicide or Cannibal Corpse. To add fuel to the fire, they're starting to make it big in the mainstream music scene, and before long American will have forgotten about true metal. Please post your thoughts on this overrated sub-genre here.

Or CoB's cover of "Oops...I Did It Again!" Hilarious. Who knew I'd ever headbang to a Britney Spears cover?

Dude, to yours, mine, and many others likings, Metalcore is dying down. It is a trend from start to finish, and we'll be seeing the end of it in the next year or two.

 

[razor_blade]

but for us its dead now. Now lets all take a moment to headbang to opps I did it again bitches!

 

[Hatebreeder]

That's comforting. I often wish metal would break into the mainstream, but then there'd be poser metalheads coming out of the country's ass and it would lose it sacredness. As long as I can buy my metal albums at a relatively nearby place, I don't care how popular they are.

 

[razor_blade]

i have to drive an hour to get anything.Its gay. but yeah metal is sacred. And it starts with an M, like marsupial, like the one in my pants!

 

[lucky999]

[razor_blade]

nope, but i'm a legendary bitch! But yeah I'm a guy, read my profile, if that does anything.

I wish I knew more female metalheads. All the girls at my 500 person school listen to rap and pop and crap like that. NO GIRLS AT MY SCHOOL listen to metal.

I dont listen to many, but my band plays some kind of (death) metalore. It's hard to define what kind it is, but if you want I'll put a link to one of the song we'll be recording in 2 days now. I hope it will change your mind.. "metalcore" is just a name, check the music that's behind... I'm influenced the more by death / black metal (nile, behemoth, anorexia nervosa, (some) dimmu borgir, bodom... just to name some) and my music I define as -core, but it does not at all sounds like hardcore like hatebreed or i dunno.

For the core I enjoy, there are some Chimara songs that are pretty great (as there are a lot of shitty too), or some french bands like Gojira or Pitbulls in the nursery that has some nice things.

But if in you see core as slipknot or pleymo we're not speaking about the same thing.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Sounds intriguing. Do link us.

Also, hardcore is a diverse genre. You've got your simplistic moshcore like Hatebreed and Bury Your Dead, and then there's more complex metal-influenced hardcore like Chimaira and As I Lay Dying. When I say metalcore, I mean bands like the latter, not simple hardcore.
