Yeah dude, Black Sheep Wall, Old Man Gloom. Excellent stuff. Sludge is also a derivative of hardcore.

By black metal here you mean first wave, second wave or both? I think I remember you said you liked the first wave but not the second or something along those lines.

Good choice, although leaving it at goth metal alone is probably sufficient.

Both metalcore and black metal have produced a smorgasbord of horrible bands for different reasons. Black metal's rotting core can be attributed to its ease of composition and subsequent popularity with bedroom and basement composers who can't assemble a band to save their lives (much like djent). Metalcore, on the other hand, was a trending genre, and thus suffered from a massive host of bandwagoners producing contrived tunes for a quick dollar (much like djent).
Pointing to one as holistically better than the other is a fool's errand.
However, as indicated, djent suffers from both of these dilemmas, so while I enjoy some good Animals as Leaders and Chimp Spanner, gun to my head, I'd probably have to say djent is the worst metal subgenre.

Agreed, although I don't really consider most of it metal to begin with.
I guess if I had to choose from those listed I would pick power metal cuz even the so-called great albums of power metal (Helloween, Blind Guardian) sound pretty fucking horrible.

If Deathcore (and Metalcore) wasn't in the list; I think I would have probably gone with power metal as well.

Yeah I haven't listened to a lot of metalcore or deathcore but what I have heard mostly just bores me while most power metal is viscerally repulsive.

Because its an application of jazz structures (especially big band and swing structures) to a hardcore trio in the style of Black Flag with political motifs.

I can listen to Deathcore and some Metalcore but I do not like it. I can't even listening to Power Metal. Their voices is making my brain spin 360s in my head.

Besides obvious choices like metalcore/deathcore and power metal I'd also pick grindcore. Just can't stand all that 'under one minute songs' thing. Usually it's impossible to memorize at least one track from 30 or above absolutely identical tracks on album, what makes listening useless and quite bothering. What's the reason to put 40 or so tracks on a record? I don't get it.
Yes C.M., you can. You not only can - you should.
Accept, Metallica and Pantera saved the whole shit. They deserve props. And the other sell out "trannies" - anti props.

Everything else. Honestly I can't fathom how people can listen to anything underproduced and enjoy it. I can't tell what the fuck is going on in any given grindcore song and if you can record an album by yourself in your bedroom, I've already assumed you're an insane person and it's not good.

Power Metal, Folk, Metalcore and Deathcore are gay as fuck.
Black Metal is one of the better genres, just crying faggots who complains.
