Aw you guys....I can't NOT do it now, can I?
citation :| Syllinger says : I don't really know how people think that Deathcore and Metalcore are any different from other genres of metal. In fact, I find that most self-proclaimed metal connoisseurs don't know shit about music in general. Just based on the fact that they stick to one genre exclusively raises Red flags. In addition to listening to pretty much every variation of metal, I enjoy almost every genre of music in general. So, if you think all Deathcore and Metalcore sounds the same, you need a reality check. |
Who the
Hell are these people you speak of? Why are they "close-minded" because they don't like a specific genre (SUBgenre even?) The fact that you dismiss these people as close-minded simply because they don't like one genre is very close-minded of you yourself and a glaring hypocrisy. I'm sure a lot of people on here aren't fans of pop music- I guess they're close minded fags cause they don't like a genre, right?
citation :| First, why is it that metalheads are such elitist idiots? Is there any other genre where listeners are so heavily divided? The only one that comes close is electronic, and let's not kid ourselves into thinking that this is even a close second. |
Metal encompasses a HUGE variety of sounds and
Textures (
Power, black,
death, melodic death and
Metalcore are all HUGELY different musically)
so evidently there's going to be a plethora of fans with different
tastes and opinions. Why the fuck do we have all agree? Conflict breeds
progression.
citation :| If you don't like the way it sounds, you don't have to listen to it. |
I don't, and nobody else who dislikes -core infused metal does. When a thread asks for my opinion on
Deathcore, I'm damn well going to give my opinion, because it creates discussion. What, do you seriously think we go around listening to music we
Hate all the time or something?
citation :| If you're upset about how many awful Deathcore/Metalcore bands are out there, guess what...there are shitty bands in every genre, even the flavour(s) of metal you choose to listen to predominantly. |
Well no shit sherlock. What's your point? I know there's bad bands in genres I like, that's not going to stop me from listening to them.
citation :| Sure, the 'emo/scene kids' have gravitated towards a particular genere, but what else is out there for them? The mainstream rock industry hasn't seen much innovation as of late, rap has essentially become pop music, and the pop scene is currently being dominated by Justin Bieber. I'd probably turn to deathcore/metalcore as well, if only for a change. |
I don't give a shit about the fanbase of a given genre. No one does, it's just fun to pick on scene kids.
citation :| Also, to address the concern of those who don't like the screaming/growling. Do they not do this exact same thing in other genres of metal? I'm pretty sure they do. Is the musical progression any different? Nope. The only diffrence is how it sounds and how you classify it. |
You'd be retarded to think that the vocal stylings they use in
Deathcore aren't different form those in other styles of metal. Harsh vocals don't just have one method of delivery, you know.
citation :| Finally, why do I like some bands and not others? Sometimes it's because of the vocal style, sometimes it's the overuse of synths, sometimes I don't like the pace, and other times I don't like the instrumentation. Chances are you are the exact same. So don't Bitch and whine, or proclaim that you know metal while others don't. It just makes you look like a moron for trying to set a precedent in a field that is completely subjective. |
If we shouldn't argue about anything subjective, what the fuck is the point of this forum, a METAL forum?
"GUYS WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS SO LETS NOT TALK ABOUT ANYTHING"
The argument's been made a billion times before and it's been fucking stupid every time.
If you are a false, don't entry, or you'll be burned and died! 
. Is the pop corn tasty ?
