What is up with this genre?

The same reason why a couple of years ago everyone sounded like As I Lay Dying or Killswitch engage. Metalcore is 99% rehashes of bad bands in the first place :muahaha:
 
Eh, just be happy in the knowledge bands like this never truly get anywhere.
Even bands like As I Lay Dying have fundamentally had their day. There was a time when you could've kinda sorta said they had something unique going on. Now? I don't many people would argue with me when I say they've either lost or are in the process of losing that special something that set them out.

This kind of music does not date well. It's gonna be intruiging to see how Slice The Cake fares in the future when deathcore and metalcore dies down somewhat..
 
and even the band logos, cd covers, shirt designs etc. all look the same, so lame.
prada isn't that bad IMHO, most of the shit bands try desperately to copy them and FAIL.
