08.16.15 | omfg it's METAL and HARDCORE. metal + hardcore = metalcore. the pace and ferocity of hardcore mixed with metal riffs. |
deathschool
08.16.15 | The Chili Peppers are a good place to start |

08.16.15 | listen til you actually feel the genre instead of approaching it through definition :3 |

08.16.15 | Shitty. It's supposed to sound shitty. |
LepreCon
08.16.15 | It sits more on the side of hardcore than metal. But either way, metalcore is shite, let's go shag some ho's |
TheBarber
08.16.15 | tbh for poop music we use metalcore and when it's worth something or precursor the term becomes some kind of shit like metallic hardcore (Botch, Coalesce, Converge, etc...) |
Asdfp277
08.16.15 | Honestly tho just listen to a lot of metalcore, you'll never get by reading but by listening. |
Gameofmetal
08.16.15 | It's a genre dude. There are variations in it, especially this one it seems, there's no logic that supports metalcore having to sound like one specific sound. There's not just one type of metalcore. |

08.16.15 | it started with stuff like Converge and Botch having actual hardcore and metal influences, but then as far as I know it got grabbed by "mainstream" teens and warped into a new genre that took little influence from hardcore at all, outside of breakdown usage. Mostly just At the Gates ripoff riffs with "hardcore" reminiscent shouted vox, and spammed breakdowns.
Is that why some people refer to "metallic hardcore" as being a thing, too? To differentiate actual metal-core from the modern incarnation of the genre? |
Gameofmetal
08.16.15 | metallic hardcore is probably just old school hardcore with a little teeny bit of metal in it or something |

08.16.15 | "To differentiate actual metal-core from the modern incarnation of the genre?"
yep this I feel, but I've seen metallic hardcore as a thing in many bands of the Deathwish label like Trap Them so I believe it's more of a snobby distinction than just a genre term rooted in a historical difference between the first "metal-core" bands and the modern metalcore wave |

08.16.15 | There are good bands then there's bad shit, that's the genres I mainly use |
TheBarber
08.16.15 | I trust my spirits and guts |
OwMySnauze
08.16.15 | The afterimage. That's what metalcore should sound like. |
TheBarber
08.16.15 | That music will implode you friend |
TheBarber
08.16.15 | lol |
jpolf
08.17.15 | Just listen to Unearth and literally no other metalcore ever. |

08.17.15 | Shitty. It's supposed to sound shitty. [2] |
Avagantamos
08.17.15 | I've never really known what post-hardcore is "supposed to sound like" |
Asdfp277
08.17.15 | That sounds neither right nor healthy |
wacknizzle
08.17.15 | i don't think anyone knows the answer. good core was good core and i don't think there is anymore. |
FearThyEvil
08.17.15 | there's still good core out there but damn it's much harder to find. |
Asdfp277
08.17.15 | Yeah I agree it's a tad harder but not that much, maybe part of that sensation is the fact that it's much more popular; maybe there aren't actually less good bands, just a much larger number of bad bands |
