I think the issue is that it … it gets lumped in with metal … if it had a different name…

glad you finally got rid of those emojis….

I really appreciate the time you put into this video as someone who grew up with the MySpace era of metal

People hate it, because it's a poser genre. It's not metal, but wants to look metal. Just look at the band members, and their fans (who are by the way mostly girls). They don't look like metalheads. To me all metalcore bands are boy bands like Backstreet Boys. Also, I totally don't understand the reason why these bands switch between screaming and clean singing. It's like they couldn't decide what type of music to produce, so it's a bit of this and that and that.

calling lamb of god metacore hurt me a bit

I take your point about sound being important. But I'd add that sound through speakers is one experience, sound live is another. In order to construct value for speaker sound I wouldn't say live sound doesn't have value.

As for judging paintings based on the * how * and not just the outcome – it's actually important to know if it's acrylics vs water colors. It changes the whole feeling of the canvas when you look at it IRL. You might not see it with a Google Search but those textures create a lot of the experience. Your other examples of stretching the canvas I'll buy, but the medium is REALLY a big part of art.

Metal is metal to me. Music is art. EXPERIMENTING is apart of artistry. If it goes hard…it is HARD. only metal i can judge on is Black metal lmao

To this day. That techno part of stick stickly is still gay 😂

Esp. the last part was a big thing within the people i knew back then. Many hated these guys for their looks but after they were established and you saw them everywhere all the haters at least had nothing against the music anymore or learned to like it.

Hated? i still hate metalcore and deathcore its garbage. if you have to rely on breakbeats in your music you know your music sucks. its a boring crap fest

What about art created by AI?

Dude
Y do people gotta yuck other peoples yums??
If u don't dig something dont buy/listen/eat whatever aint your jam
Gatekeepers r just the absolute worst
Unless u listen to dave matthews
Cuz only sucky people listen to that
What was i saying?
Oh yeah
Metallica rules

For some reason I like female led metalcore bands, but could never stand male fronted ones. Something about the clean vocals on them annoyed me. I never really trashed it, but I didn't like it. I have a hard time telling what all of these different subgenres are, so I might be getting styles mixed up.

Lol I remember in the early 00s when I was in high school and discovered the basement punk scene, people would point and laugh at me for wearing like, a Slipknot or Kittie shirt or something.

I just really disliked the cheesy vocals and synths that would be shoehorned in. I really don't know how to explain it other than it sounding "corny", I was in high school and hung out with people that liked metalcore and more poppy alternative stuff like MCR, but for some reason all of it just rubbed me the wrong way. Edit: Buddyhead was an music elitist troll site, thought they were hilarious, but they were definitely there to piss everyone off.

Honorable shout out to the original incarnation of Sky Eats Airplane (w/ Brack Cantrell) and Enter Shikari – both bands who were doing the electronica/synth/techno thing with metalcore way before bands like Attack Attack came on the scene. Contemporaries of the devil wears prada more or less.

I enjoyed metalcore until someone put me on that they were all christian bands. After that, I just stuck to local shows, which, in my area, were all punk (sorta gutter punk? I guess I'd call it.)
