Only to be replaced by something else... djent anyone?

Quite honestly, I don't think Deathcore has that much of a future. There aren't many bands that I see poping up that still hold true to Deathcore at its purest form. Everyone wants to be technical or progressive, not like how the pioneers did it. But in other metal genres such as Black Metal, there are heaps of new bands out there taking much of their sound from Black Metal pioneers such as mayhem. I think that Deathcore, quite honestly is slowing down. I don't know if deathcore's so called "glory days"  Deathcore will be over in 5 or 20 years, or if its already over.

Deathcore dead in 1 year or dead in 100... I'll probably still be listening to Deathcore when I'm 50 and have hearing aids

I remember having fun once, it was terrible...

Djent isn't as terrible as Deathcore.

Remember that Deathcore is a musical hype or trend, cal if as you want it, so it will disappear as fast as it came

Well maybe not just djent...electrocore or a "trendy" form of grindcore.


hmmm, well, I guess we may never know for sure. Judging by the wide Rage of different Deathcore sounds (I hear different sounds ), who knows... it might undergo a magical metamorphosis which gains itself a new fanbase (unlikely, but it could happen). Even though the sound isn't what the "original" Deathcore bands played, its still deathcore.

I honestly think that the breakdown will take less prominence, and be replaced by a more groove section, not a 210 - 60 bpm type thing. Solo's seem to be start taking their hold on the genre. I also believe it'll stop being scene (eventually give it time) and start being a more elitist type of metal.

If bands follow in the footsteps of Bring Me The Horizon well then you know what is going to happen but if new Deathcore bands can create awesome Deathcore then its gonna stay alive.

Wait what? You mean that those hordes of scene kids will become elitist?? Aren't they that already if you hear their opinion on non Core genres?
Elitism isn't something that is related to genre it is related to the listener. So a genre can't be elitist but it can be less accessible or less popular (cfr Drone, several metal genres, ebm, some genres of rap, nd the list goes on). Stigmas on a genre stay or even become worse, even after the point where the genre ceased to be. I don't think I have to give a list of opinions on disco, Nu Metal or grunge. Keep in mind that Deathcore isn't a well liked genre by many

About the climaxes in deathcore: solos might getting more prominent because Deathcore is in Fact losing something that was very remarkable for Hardcore and punk. And that are 'weaker' guitarists. Keep in mind that punk was often played by technical poor guitarists and the breakdowns were inteded as a easier yet equally effective alternative. nowadays many guitarists want to keep showing off their skills cfr all those tech death bands, but they lose the link with their music.
Another reason of the growing solo: Deathcore = amalgam of Hardcore and some death metal. Metal features mainly solos, so it is logical that Deathcore starts taking this over as the formula starts taking more shape

If I were to make a prediction right now though. I'll say that melodic Deathcore will be leading the scene. Bands such as As Blood Runs Black and The Black Dahlia Murder will have a massive fan base and there will be bands out there who will Aspire to be like the two.
