11.03.18 | For the most part no, people just tend to avoid the mainstream core around here but people around here for the most part respect it (from what I've seen). I'm sure every long time metal listener here has a core list
also dont be afraid to ask steak about BMTH There is a hell... |

11.03.18 | Metalcore has a very storied history with many phases of varying styles and also varying quality. There’s a pretty fine line between what is considered good and what is considered bad on sput so between new users posting lists of “best metalcore albums” showcasing a bunch of shitty albums and elitists commenting “have you even heard Converge bro” yea it’s a bit of a meme |

11.03.18 | I also think it depends on the era of metalcore to an extent. This site is more or less fine with these newer core bands that adopt some proggy influences. But the "scene"core bands post 2005 are completely different story. |
rabidfish
11.03.18 | It's a meme as in only 13 year-olds think it's cool. |
Ashen
11.03.18 | I don't think metalcore has any real staying power. Most people grow up and stop listening to it.
That said, many teenage idiots on this site throw so much unnecessary disrespect towards converge for no reason at all |
Space Jester
11.03.18 | Depends on the artist, like any genre.
Dedes lol my bad, just used to people saying dumb shit I guess. Tbh tho Converge is your only metalcore 5 that I really like |

How long is it going to take, then?
I've listened to Metalcore since I was 13. I'm 19 now. It's still one of the easiest genres to find relatable shit in. |

Knut, Coalesce, Deadguy, Kiss It Goodbye, Cave In, Zao, Burns by the Sun... |
veninblazer
11.03.18 | I think it's more bands like Escape the Fate that have that "meme" status now.
Which I still obviously can't wrap my head around, I think Craig's a brilliant vocalist and they're immensely relatable, but that's neither here nor there. |
Ashen
11.03.18 | There was a metalcore renaissance of sorts as some old head bands stood out as "the good ones" when the genre became more widespread and derivative. Metalcore has been disliked since its inception because there was a vitriol for bands that incorporated metal into hardcore during the demise of the latter in the late 80s. Even My War was criticized by some punks, claiming BF sold out.
Rorschach is the quintessential metalcore band imo. |

beefshoes
11.03.18 | Would anyone else agree that even the tag "metalcore" has mostly been irrelevant since the mid-2000s? I hear absolutely no hardcore influence in the overwhelming majority of KSE-styled melodic metalcore bands, with the same being true of most of the post-hardcore from the mid-2000s onward. That isn't meant as a criticism, I love many of these bands, but if anything, most of what gets labeled as metalcore is just Gothenburg melodic death metal with breakdowns, with most of what gets labeled as post-hardcore being pop-punk with screams and breakdowns. It's trivial in the end, but I would like to see someone justify why these bands can be justifiably labeled as being influenced by or continuations of the hardcore movement, when there are virtually no elements of hardcore present in their sound, or are even coming into direct contradiction with the basic elements of hardcore. |
Asdfp277
11.03.18 | i wouldn't agree |
SitarHero
11.03.18 | "It's trivial in the end"
You're absolutely right. |
SitarHero
11.03.18 | Also, the guys in the original metalcore and post-hardcore bands all came from the hardcore scene which is why they kept the core tags. Their imitators may not have roots in the hardcore scene but hey, that's how genre labelling works. |

11.03.18 | @SitarHero: I know plenty of folks 21 and older who still love the genre like I do. |
SitarHero
11.03.18 | Lol, the point was to stop calling yourself a grown up when you're literally still probably growing. |
beefshoes
11.03.18 | Yeah, it's mostly arbitrary and meaningless, as it means next to nothing for the average person and even so-called metalcore fans to call yourself a fan of or an artist within the style. This is even more the case with emo and screamo, given somehow in the previous decade, anything with screaming was conflated with being screamo, and emo became conflated with whiny pop-punk with glam and goth aesthetics. |

11.03.18 | I should listen to core music, I love Converge & nothing comes close to replicating that sound, but admittedly I’ve heard very little. |
