True, but it is helpful to find a common link to something that you are listening to so you can research and find bands/groups that might sound similar.

It's helpful in one way, destructive in another.

Most of the time I don't like genres of music with the word "core" attached to it. It just bugs me.

SeymourGreenspoon 06-14-2010 06:52 PM

because of the annoying voice, unnecessary and too frequent breakdowns or just the name?

Because there obsessed with telling you how straight edge they are. Its no wonder there angry. No sex drugs or rocknroll.

For a while good bands like Botch and drowningman were called metalcore but then came stuff like Atreyu and Darkest Hour and god knows what else.

Here's why I hate bands like Atreyu and this covers most metalcore as far as I know:
*they use a very bland / weak sounding version of cookie monster vocals mixed with godawful 'clean' vocals that sound no better to me than the autotuned vocals on current pop hits.
*the musicianship is generally very sub par. Even if these bands snag a good drummer, they give him nothing interesting to do. Trained chimpanzees with double-bass pedals might sound as good. The guitarists play like unskilled versions of old-school metal guitarists which is an insulting joke.

In conclusion I hate metalcore because it offers me nothing: the more sell out bands just sound bad. The more serious types sound painfully derivative and dull.

I recommend sticking with GBH

When your talking metalcore, you're really referring to melodic-metalcore bands like Killswitch Engage and In Flames. Original metalcore acts like Converge and Botch kinda fall in between mathcore and grindcore, which totally kicks-butt. On the the other hand, these melodic bands that hit the emo chorus just sound so contrived and phony. It makes me laugh when 100's of bands use the same formula with the screaming and the feel good nauseating clean singing and think they're actually on to something. Totally and completely lame.
