What do you think about bands such as A Day to Remember and Catherine?

I think they're great ones to be honest.

I'm sure they're real popular with 14-17 year olds.

Well, I am 17.
I'm more into that kind of metal.
It's good stuff to listen to and learn to scream with.

I fucking hate metalcore. It's everything that's wrong with modern metal rolled up into a bunch of bands that sound nearly identical with stupid names, and pseudo-sexist lyrics.

I was wondering why you were posting in a metalcore thread, JB.

Well, I mean I'm not all into Metalcore.
I love alot of Metal and Death Metal bands, I'm just saying I prefer more metalcore.

I think if you gave them a bunch of listens,you might wind up really liking Butthole Surfers, Boredoms, and Melt Banana.

I'm trying to see how many threads I can mention Melt Banana in, btw.
But all jokes aside, it's kinda annoying the lacking mentions of their album this year. Confused

1. There is nothing "wrong" with metalcore. Metalcore makes a valid contribution to metal.

2. I will Admit, metalcore has a consistent sound.

3. Metalcore band names are all different. Just as are band names of any other genre.

4. To generalize all the lyrics of every song from every band in a genre with a "pseudo-sexist" label is presumptuous.

5. If you don't like metalcore, i suggest you don't listen to the music.

6. Why do you feel the need to use profanity to get a point across? That is childish.

Though I can't say I've listened any recent bands that would be considered "metalcore", I was into a lot of metal and hardcore back when I was (yes, you guessed it...) 14-17. Of course back then I had never heard the word metalcore before, it was usually either straight-edge or just plain old hardcore. Even though I have only heard one of the bands you listed (Hatebreed), if I had to make an educated guess I'd have to say that most of them sound a lot alike. I'd also hate to break it to you but those names are not at all unique. They are all different. Not a single one of those bands have the exact same name, but that does not make them unique. Almost all of them are references to death, decay and other "dark" sounding words.

Just because someone has a different opinion than yours doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to post their opinion here. This is a discussion forum.

Anyways, here's some of the quote-unquote metalcore bands I was listening to back in the day. Coincidence that they're pretty much all on Victory Records and Solidstate? Probably not, I was only sixteen Razzer

Snapcase
Strife
Strongarm
Living Sacrifice
Zao
Earth Crisis
Training for Utopia
Vision of Disorder
All Out War
Poison the Well

I might have to dust these off sometime and given them another listen, its been awhile.

Every Hatebreed song sounds identical. No joke.

Are Dillinger Escape Plan too good to mention here?

Actually, I only like Calculating Infinity; everything of theirs other than that is kinda.... meh.

Hatebreed songs do sound the same. The band has potential. I wonder if they will ever utilize that potential.

I am curious. What does age or college have to do with a persons taste in music?

Tastes are influenced by life experiences, no?

I think there is truth in this statement. But, it does not apply to everyone.

The word "better" is subjective, no?
Wouldn't the word "different" be more appropriate?

Not exactly. Let's put it this way. I think you will find stuff you like better, simply because you will be exposed to so much. Although these days with the internet, maybe kids already know everything.

there is very little metalcore that is of artistic merit, though dilinger is pretty awesome.

i have to agree with the sentiment that as you listen to more music (and it helps to be open minded) you will generally move away from the genre.
