Ridiculous analogy? Not at all. Just 'cause racism is a far more serious case, doesn't make less relatable. Good thing you think it's similar aswell.  There's a general opinion from a lot of old punkers and hardcore punkers saying metalcore is bad cause it isn't hardcore or punk. This also goes for the people more prone to listening to death metal and/or groove/trash metal, perhaps also black metal. They "hate" 'cause it isn't technical enough, doesn't have the attitude, is too simple, too cheesy. So what? Obviously a lot of people like Coldplay, The Beatles and The Beach Boys - all sharing the fact that it's **** simple music (besides from Coldplay, who basically steal their best songs). |
You don't really know a lot about music do you? I hate to point it out and give you a hard time but it's true.
You don't give a rat's ass? cool beans. So why produce another paragraph about music you obviously know nothing about. Bringing Coldplay into an argument that is about music so far removed from the genre it's unreal. BTW it's THRASH metal NOT Trash Metal (although some would argue the case).
Metalheads have always been dumb idiots with a blinkered view of music so I take their views with a pinch of salt- that is unless they listen to many genres and know what they are talking about and can back it up with well reasoned arguments.
As an old git who has listened to metal for 25 years I will say that Metalcore is generally crap and an affront to the genre's it has spawned BUT if YOU like it then enjoy it. This is also someone who took a weekend out of his life to watch Lamb Of God even though they are not the most respected band
