@Emim: I think what you said describes the real "elitism". Immersing yourself in one particular genre and only listening to obsucure stuff is just closed-mindness IMO.




I think it's more than that. Many users around here refuse to listen to certain bands and even genres, simply because they are popular. I personally can appreciate most any music, even with "bands" like brokencyde.

Hey, I wasn't being very serious about that either. Let's just be glad Palace didn't hung around this thread for too long :D

Otherwise we'd be reading "I'm better than you," "You're retarded," "go kill yourself," and then he'd go report us all for disagreeing with him.

Converge are pretty popular and they're generally well accepted around (yeah yeah MJ), so I don't really think this metalcore elitism is all that much to do with popularity, I know it is to a certain extent but eh

what am I saying someone translate for me

@Slightly: well Converge is popular and well like around Sputnik, but what about the Outside World ? And I bet a lot of Converge fans would mix the more mainstream metalcore bands with the dirt as soon as you mentioned them. Funny, because I love both Converge and mainstream metalcore

I love pretty much all metalcore. Jane Doe isn't all that amazing, either. Petitioning the Empty Sky is where it's at.

You could still find a lot of people that like the mainstream stuff, but haven't heard of them, I think. Well, I can't actually say that for a fact, because metalcore, mainstream or not, is a somewhat obscure genre where I live.

I think what Slightly means is that metalcore elitism is not based on the popularity of a band, but which social circles the band is popular in. AILD is popular irl, but Converge is far more popular here. We represent a different and much smaller circle, and here, Botch, Converge and TDEP are just the gods of the genre.

And I have nothing against mainstream metalcore btw. I don't really like AILD but August Burns Red are pretty sweeeeet.

Music is dumb. Whoever thought of the idea to use creativity to express their emotions? Meh, what an ass
