The Metalcore Discussion Thread (lyrics, hardcore, genre, members, solo)

Which, in my opinion, is totally okay. US, if you have difficulties accepting the fact that people can listen to artists regardless of what kind of other artists they listen to, then I suggest you do like RezZ and GTFO.

(HOW THE **** does listening to Nirvana rule out the possibility of listening to Nickelback...? Idiot.)

Firstly, take a deep breath, relax and chill.....You`re missing the point. I also listen to metalcore as well, but the general consensus here, is that its inferior to both metal and hardcore in general, just accept that fact. If you enjoy metalcore then that`s your prerogative.

Somebody that likes both Nirvana and Nickelback, despite their interest in both bands, must surely see that there is a world of a difference between the two talent wise.

I enjoy metalcore because it's light and fun. I don't take it seriously as a genre though, and I have to admit that it is the equivalent of Ke$ha in pop music. I don't listen to it often (although i used to last year, and my friend scrobbles his plays every time he comes over), but when I do, it's to have fun.

Which I've never denied. I even stated it twice! There is no doubt metalcore, technically, is inferior to metal. Hardcore? Not so much, but still. The thing is; depsite the fact that it's not at skillfull, it's still awesome music... to some - including me. So why trash it? The hate metalcore suffers to are similar to racism - even if you carefully explain the differences, and the fact that it doesn't matter, people still make a public war about it. And it pisses me off.

I listen to metalcore, and so does _ALOT_ of other people as well.

Of course I can see theres a world of difference talent wise between the mentioned. But I still prefer Nickelback to Nirvana, that's just my choice.

Its no surprise then, that Somebody who prefers Nickelback to Nirvana. Would also use the ridiculous analogy, of comparing the hate that metalcore receives, to that of the far more serious matter of racism.

Not all metal is technically good either. One of the most influential metal groups of all time Venom were very poor musicians, but are considered a major influence on both thrash and extreme metal genres, probably making them one of the most influential metal groups of all time.

If you like Metalcore who cares what other people think about it? I certainly don't need anyone to validate what I listen to. It would be nice to be validated but I'm certainly not going to get my self in a twist when people don't like what I listen to.
