This poll is totally pointless.

Aside from the fact that the question is completely stupid, those that like it will say OMG they're really talented ... 10. And those that don't like it will say OMG Metalcore sucks there should be a zero option in this poll.

And those with a brain will sigh at yet another pointless metalcore thread being made.

Hey all, I'm just starting to listen to a lot of bands that Wikipedia calls "metalcore" or "post hardcore" bands (stuff like Underoath, From Autumn to Ashes, Enter Shikari).

I've also noticed that a buncha bands that my friend has liked for a while (Bullet for My Valentine, Atreyu, All That Remains) fall under the same category, yet I don't really like these bands all that much.

Can the bands that I said I listened to be segmented from the bands he listens to in some way? Maybe they're more post hardcore than metalcore or something? I wouldnt want to go around saying I listen to metalcore and be completely lost if the person starts talking about BFMV or something.

Wikipedia is probably the worst source in the world for looking up genres.

As for your bands, they all take influence from post-hardcore and metalcore to some extent, but whether they fit under those genres or not depends on how nitpicky and/or elitist you are. I myself tend to view post-hardcore as being an umbrella term for a more artistic take on hardcore punk.

Post-hardcore

Metalcore

Thanks, I'll be sure to check those videos out next time I'm not in a library :-p

Any more takes on this question?

sidewinder · 11-16-2009, 10:04 PM

Yeah, basically what Alfred said. The bands you mentioned in your first post are not post-hardcore.

SpyPirates · 11-16-2009, 11:06 PM

I see... its a shame, "post hardcore" is probably one of the most badass names for a genre out there :-p

Jesus, i wish people would stop putting bands into little niche groups and then telling you not to listen to them because they are not in your likened genre. Just ****ing listen to 'em and make up your own mind irrespective of what genre they are, its all rock music when all said and done.
