02.15.19 | @Alamo: I've felt this for years, it's one of their best songs. |
alamo
02.15.19 | yeah that's a cool song but the only thing this band is deserving of a 5 for is vocals on their debut imo |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | Hmmmm |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | miss may i is one of the worst bands in their scene let alone outside it |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | @Sinternet: They're one of the only names in the third-wave willing to try and keep the 2nd wave's style going, so... |
alamo
02.15.19 | watch the seventh wave |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | lol. I just hated the direction the third wave took and wanted to find comfort in bands willing to try and modernize the AILD formula, but there's like a grand total of three bands doing that. |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | 'third-wave'
stop |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | That's actually a thing. And it started off okay until everyone tried copying the last Attack Attack album which wasn't any good to begin with. |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | no it isn't a thing |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | Yes it is, it generally denotes bands that formed in 2008 or later up to now. Just like how the 2nd wave was like 2000-2007 acts. Don't be stupid, I know you don't follow the scene much but come on Sint. |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | no it really isn't |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | I guess it's easy to deny if you don't follow the genre. |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | lol bro i used to listen to every fucking scene band out there save the worst of the worst don't try me
no one has ever called anything second or third wave or whatever, it can only be some retarded thing people have made up recently |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | I've heard the terminology used as far back as 2013 when I got involved, used it since then and still do it today. It's meant to distinguish bands like AILD, Killswitch, etc. from the likes of Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack, and everyone that tried copying them. |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | only by no life retards then
what changed in 2008? or 2000? |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | Attack Attack's debut sounded WAY different from anything bands like Killswitch were doing at the time and ushered in that new era. The Devil Wears Prada was in that transitional stage as well. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | And there's a clear difference between bands like Earth Crisis and bands like Unearth or Misery Signals which distinguishes the first wave from the second. |
alamo
02.15.19 | it's obvious there's a difference if one band is earth and the other un-earth duh |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | LOL good point |
Get Low
02.15.19 | "Another track found in the rejected demo folder"
Sounds like an ace track, my guy. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | @Sint: The genre clearly changed in a wave-like format. When bands like Unearth, 7A7P, and Eighteen Visions burst on the scene, new bands followed in their footsteps. Same shit happened with Attack Attack and Asking Alexandria, although the third wave ended up taking more from This Means War era Attack Attack later on (see Wage War and all their clones). |
Get Low
02.15.19 | 4th wave metal core is djent |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | Yeah seems to be the case. There's some good djent acts but tons of bands just use it as an excuse to try and find the brown note. It's like those bullshit Jared Dines djent videos except played dead fucking serious. |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | You seriously are dumb enough to lump Misery Signals in with Unearth? lol. Misery Signals and Unearth were in their own scenes during the 2000s |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | Also Undying and Prayer for Cleansing were on that Melodeathcore shit before Unearth broke out anyways lol |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | when you say wave, you make the implication that the previous 'wave' ceased to maintain popular relevancy, that it was superceded by another. however for all the supposed 'waves' that you claim, all maintained relevancy within the wider culter that is metal/alternative music, and still do to this day. If you want to classify individual styles feel free to do so as subgenres (spoiler: kse et al were described as melodic metalcore for the most part), rather than a descriptor like 'third-wave' which doesn't really describe it at all |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | They're around the same timeframe, figured I'd try to broaden the spectrum a bit. Go slice some more paper you pretentious fuck. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | @Sint: I mean people class drop G generic tripe like Wage War as melodic metalcore too, so... |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | 'Yeah seems to be the case. There's some good djent acts but tons of bands just use it as an excuse to try and find the brown note. It's like those bullshit Jared Dines djent videos except played dead fucking serious.'
and this is where it's even dumbr because djent was a thing around the same time as you claim 'third-wave' metalcore started. did the third and fourth wave somehow appear at the ame time, aren't they both third-wave then? |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | Do you even know that my name is just a Poison the Well reference? |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | idk who these people you are constantly citing are but they're retards |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | Djent was separate from metalcore at one point, so not necessarily. And I don't really believe there's a fourth wave yet. Maybe when bands give up their "lower = heavier" schtick for good. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | @Slice: Yeah, I figured it was a reference but it's just such a dumb looking name... ik, pot calling the kettle black, but still. |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | what seperated it then |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | The fact that djent originated from progressive metal and then got blended in after dumbass core bands that didn't know how to djent just started chugging aimlessly in ridiculously low tunings? |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | Only actual djent band then would be Meshuggah and maybe SikTh if that were the case lol. |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | which happened around that time? i fail to see what your point is. the fact is is that describing the evolution of metalcore in 'waves' doesn't stand up to any scrutiny, nor would the same attitude work for many genres. you can seperate them as distinct styles, which feel free to do so, use descriptive titles (melodic metalcore/progressive metalcore/technical metalcore) but using a moniker that implies the death of one style to make way for another when that didn't actually happen is retarded |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | I mean I wouldn't even call a band like Periphery "core", maybe they went more core-esque later but early on nah. |
alamo
02.15.19 | lil peep metalcore |
alamo
02.15.19 | i think what he means by wave is what is trendy in the genre at the time |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | if you don't hear the -core in periphery's early stuff i guess you just don't know what you're talking about |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | @Sint: it's always been a lot easier to distinguish by time period, as newer acts in certain subgenres aren't exactly holding on very tightly to the legacy of older acts. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | The only "core" sound they have is Spencer Sotelo's vocals, where the fuck are the overused breakdowns? |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | if all previous styles remained 'trendy' as well (converge were never not trendy, different audience but not untrendy, bands like killswitch engage/ as i lay dying were huge for ages after the arbitrary cutoff of 2008) then it isn't a wave, it's just a different style |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | Thats retarded lol. Theres still tons of bands that are taking from the books of many different styles of core. Hardcore never existed in waves just different scenes under the same umbrella. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | yeah but where are the newer bands holding onto the older bands' legacy? Closest I can see is this "revival" of the style of acts like Converge. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | Wage War is called "melodic metalcore" but they seem content on killing what that style should be with obnoxious writing. |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | '@Sint: it's always been a lot easier to distinguish by time period, as newer acts in certain subgenres aren't exactly holding on very tightly to the legacy of older acts'
wtf absolutely not, not only do many bands just straight off rip off bands before them, but new styles emerge every couple of years, at which point even if we grant the 'waves' idea, you're on like 8th wave or so by now? ridiculous proclamation |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | ...Those bands that are "revival" are holding onto the older bands legacy lol |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | They're holding onto the legacy of bands like Converge, at this point nobody wants to revive the style of Killswitch or AILD unless they can do it in Drop Q |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | 'yeah but where are the newer bands holding onto the older bands' legacy? Closest I can see is this "revival" of the style of acts like Converge.'
are you seriously dumb or do you not know of every band that was biting on bands like atreyu for years after them. And converge's style has remained relevant for years lol.
'Wage War is called "melodic metalcore" but they seem content on killing what that style should be with obnoxious writing.'
again, you are either listening to retarded people, in which case stop, or you are making these people up |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | @Sint: Look at all these playlists from Rising Phoenix Productions with newer bands that he classes as "melodic metalcore." Names like Wage War and other Drop QQXXLL whateverthefuck clones are most prominent. |
Sinternet
02.15.19 | who tf is that guy? who cares about him? why are you taking your ideas from a youtube guy no one knows or cares about? |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | of course, there's some good acts that do that style justice (Crystal Lake comes to mind) but man, aside from The Royal and a few others, I haven't found much of anything that DOESN'T do that. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | The dude has this massive database of underground and mainstream bands from the last few years. He's done the work to find more than just the surface level. But there's not a lot going for it aside from the odd band like Crystal Lake that does the new shit well. |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | Still doesnt prove the idea that different styles of Hardcore come in waves lol. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | The Punk Rock MBA's described it in a wave-like format too, so this isn't just some new thing. |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | Punk Rock MBA is an overrated moron who gets at Screamo fans for being elitist while acting like a dickbag towards things he doesnt like. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | I haven't seen that in any of the content I've seen from him, but I mean... that's fuckin stupid |

http://www.metalsucks.net/2010/01/05/sergeant-d-thinks-that-converge-is-something-awful/ |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | So he used to be called Sergeant D? Interesting... |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | He also acts generalizing and dickish towards Screamo fans ironically. ie in his video on Wristmeetrazor and SeeYouSpaceCowboy. |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | yeah he used to be Sergeant D off of Metalsucks and acted like any other shitty journalists. |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | Hmph, yeah. Serves me right for not doing a shitload of research on whatever guys I watch whose videos I like... |
veninblazer
02.15.19 | Going through his video right now, not hearing anything wrong just yet.
EDIT: Nvm, he's saying these bands are for hipster elitist snobs right now. LOL |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | GUISE GUISE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT TEH EVIL NECKBEARD SKRAMZ BOIS DONT TAKE OVER DA SCENE REVIVAL LULZ HOW DARE THEY ALL BE SO UNINCLUSIVE |
Viriathus
02.15.19 | PLS BRING BACK NEON SKINNY JEANS AND RAINBOW BARF OSIRIS HIGH TOPS PLSSSSS |
veninblazer
02.16.19 | ngl i wouldn't mind seeing a scene revival that's closer to the original scene...just ditch the fucking autotune breakdown shit please |
Viriathus
02.16.19 | Well it wouldnt be too good but at least its something above the Risecore and Sumeriancore bullshit weve been forced to sit through for like the past 6 years. |
veninblazer
02.16.19 | Yeah, definitely. At this point I'm debating on tapping out of metalcore in general and just sticking with more post-hc stuff. As much as I want to hear the Killswitch-esque style return to metalcore, I've been finding acts like From Autumn to Ashes and Glassjaw a lot more interesting lately and would like to see a more full-scale revival of that style. |
Viriathus
02.16.19 | FATA are more Metalcore than Post-Hardcore. |
veninblazer
02.16.19 | Good point. But I mean, that's the type of metalcore that could use a "revival" even more than the Killswitch/melodicore stuff I feel like. |
Viriathus
02.16.19 | Yeah FATA are leagues above Killswitch who imo had one decent debut and thats it. |
veninblazer
02.16.19 | Makes sense. |

02.16.19 | everyone on sput has some form of autism tbh. |
sixdegrees
02.16.19 | is that really true |
ArsMoriendi
02.16.19 | "genrefags are the worst"
Remember when people used to get banned for saying that word? |
veninblazer
02.16.19 | why you gotta do me like that |
