Has nothing to do with being an "expert". Has everything to do with having a discerning ear and caring enough about what you're listening to to do just a little bit of homework.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic in my response to what you said, I think it may have come off that way.
Maybe "expert" wasn't the best term to use, what I mean is, I listen to a lot of different music, I don't listen to much grind, but I've been told that it is grind by some people who know quite a bit about music and their genres.
I lurked yourblog spot- and you seem very musically intelligent, I won't argue with you because you probably know a lot more than I do.

Riseagainstrocks......

stop trying to confuse Meg and everyone else reading this grindcore thread.....BACKSTABBERS INC. is NOT grindcore! They are a very poor imitation of every band to come out of Portland, OR. But.......

......please tell me more about INSECT WARFARE. Checked them out on your blog. It's bloody good stuff. Very, very, very impresssed!

true but daughters and #12 shred more than most. You shouldn't pick out those bands seeing as they're pretty ****ing talented. You just don't like em cos yr super into the genre haha. They cater to a different crowd and that crowd doesn't even give em the respect they deserve most of the time. IT'S ALL METAL MAN!

I consider them to be, but fair enough.

Insect Warfare are from Texas and recently put out a full length. I'll up it shortly.

and shut up Adam :)

this post made me laugh so hard.


THAT IS GRINDCORE

the most ridiculous genre I've ever had thrown at me was 'artcore'. I literally broken down laughing. you hear some hilarious **** when scenesters try to make up genres for cred

well actually post-artcore is like my favourite genre

i prefer avant-freak-noise-drone

avant freak noise drone is dead.

maybe, but it's ok because it gave way to post-industrial-sludge-grind
