Oh Buddy! It's just a newb kid! A newby mcnewbface. Here, have an avatar, newbie.

I really wish there was a better way to express my contempt for certain people in the world other than by butchering Family Guy jokes. But alas there is not!

i guess im being hypocritical, i probably would have loved music like this when i was little because its all obnoxious and ****, but i dunno, its not really music and its pretty silly when people compare openly non melodic "noise" to music.

i suggest you guys check out a few bands like Godspeed or Mogwai, Explosions in the sky, Mum, and A silver mount zion, they are whats called "post rock" or "advanced", very melodic, listening to Godspeed and listening to am/pm by american nightmare, the contrast between beauty melody and progressiveness and the blandness and noise of am/pm, is just awe inspiring.

I listen to all the "core" bands, and Godspeed, Mogwai and Explosions In The Sky.

You don't have to have sheer talent to play ambience.

I don't think the title of this thread is "let newbie try to pwn everyone into submission, then make them listen to music we dont want to". If that were the title your comments wouldn't be so out of place.

And just because you may not think a song is "thought out" it doesn't mean it's bad. Hardcore isnt meant to be technically challenging, its meant to be like raw energy put into musical form. If you dont like it get out.

Jesus crappin' Christ in a toilet full of mucus!

Put your prog-rock next to Converge or Dillinger Escape Plan, and let's see who's the most progressive and technically accomplished.

Ahem. COOOOOOOOOONVERGEEEE!!!.

I've known about those bands for a while. The only good post-rock that I've heard is Explosions in the Sky and Pelican, and I like some Mogwai. G!YBE and A Silver Mt. Zion just don't do it for me.

I'm just curious, what would you consider the Deftones then? As far as their sound is concerned anyway. I was just wondering.

I am 14 and have a very wide range of music - i listen to most of the 'core' bands as descibed in the thread, to mogwai, explosions in the sky, and other melodic post rock, but my taste in music also reaches classical, jazz, pop/rock, and ska. I am sick of constantly being catogorised as an obnoxious teen who only listens to non melodic noise and nu-metal. Sure, I enjoy noise bands (converge, norma jean and the like...) but don't you all think that it is time to stop analysing sub-genres, criticizing people for their music taste, and stereotyping young music fans, and time to start paying attention to what really matters - the musicians, what they stand for, and whether or not the music is what you like?

This is false information this kid just got from MTV, please disregard it.

[Niblade]

Just as well, I used to think that the only thing "core" bands had going for them were their drummers, they are some great guys. Now I listen to the music for the pure energy of it. Zao's 5 Year Winter really makes you want to move. On the same line, Symphony In Peril are just as good, they are some talented guys to write the way they do. I just think it's crazy how some of them are even able to go so far as to write songs that just don't have any repeating factor. Almost like a story. It has a beginning and an end, just continuous new riffs, no chorus, no repetition, at least not all the time. Then again, I play guitar, and I like to listen to guitars, all kinds of them. It's just incredible what they do sometimes.

Sorry, just had to post my 2 cents. I've been watchin' for so long that I gave up keepin' quiet.

How about that anonymous mod comes by and deletes that false post.

[BouncingSouls87]

This forum is really intresting I never could tell the two metalcore and hardcore apart, but this really helped me understand. Because Im slow and
what would Glassjaw be considered?

GlassJAw kind of have their own thing going on. They have a little bit of emo going on too, but DFelon could better explain this than I.

[shane italian]

Older Glassjaw would mix their hardcore and metal influences into something pretty unique. These days they are still making amazing music in my opinion, but they brought a poppier sound into the music and ditched most of their metal influences.

[Luxor]

Click here if you would like to hear one of the best metalcore bands:

The I Collective
http://www.theicollective.com/tic_-_01.mp3
http://www.theicollective.com/tic_-_02.mp3

These guys go to/used to go to my school. Unfortunately, they broke up because they're a bunch of drunken idiots.

Good band, good live show. The singer would sometimes go out into the middle of the pit and start beating the shit out of kids in the middle of a song.

[NakedRaygun872]

Holy crap how do they get that "Wiffa Wiffa Wiffa" sounds like a spinning speaker effect.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Woah they're awesome. Are there names to these tracks?...I'm the kind of nerd who likes to have things organized correctly.
