Current Events > Which "OMG THAT'S NOT METAL REEEE" genre is best?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I vote Nu-Metal simply because of Sevendust - Praise.

Black Metal

Then again, Hair Metal does have Dr. Feelgood.
---

Nu-Metal, although I admit I didn't realize Sevendust fell into that category. Been a while since I heard them though.

Probably numetal if stuff like Lamb of God is considered numetal these days.

Also while I dont care for Slipknot at all I still stand by the fact that Iowa was a good record

Im trying to think of what my favorite Metalcore track would be. I really like CM Punks original theme song by Killswitch Engage.

Nu-Metal

limp bizkit and linkin park FTW

I just hate how the labels fucking change or people even give a shit about them sometimes.

Wikipedia- In the mid-2000s, metalcore became one of the most popular heavy metal subgenres with the success of bands like Bleeding Through, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, Atreyu, Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, Trivium, Bullet for My Valentine, and All That Remains. Metalcore's popularity continued in the 2010s with the success of bands like Asking Alexandria, August Burns Red, and The Devil Wears Prada.

Well I hate most of those bands but I mean As I Lay Dying was cool live (years back before their singer tried to murder his wife).

Actually Unearth had 2 good records imo.

Lol love going into these topics

No mathcore?

Asking Alexandria, Devil Wears Prada.

There's good Metalcore like the first wave Hardcore stuff. Earth Crisis, Converge. Then there's the awesome Gothenburg stuff so Killswitch, As I Lay Dying.

But if we're talking "guilty pleasure" (I personally am not ashamed of what I listen to) I'm taking Attack Attack! over Limp Bizkit any day.

I've heard a few metalcore albums I liked (granted it's been years and I struggle to really remember them well <_<) though if you stick to the more mainstream stuff it's not for me at all. The cheesy hair metal bands I mostly don't really dislike, that style of music is fine by me in small doses. Can't think of any nu-metal I've enjoyed, at least not since before my tastes in music changed a lot.

Chiodos, some people will say that's post-hardcore. Obviously Protest the Hero is the GOAT metalcore band

---

Metalcore has Dillinger and Converge, which are some of the best metal bands ever.

I always had PtH labeled under Progressive Metal but you're right, they're awesome.

The songs are way too short for that

Hair Metal is better than the majority of "real metal" Really just bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are better.

Only losers actually listen to "metal"

I listen to a lot of metalcore but not anything like the crap on that list.

---

Hair metal. There's a ton of it I enjoy. I only like a few nu and metalcore songs. Lots of hair metal bands are underrated talent wise.

IM and JP aren't hair metal though. They're still top tier metal bands of course.

---

Metalcore, but there's a lot I don't like. More of a post-hardcore/screamo guy but progressive metalcore is good (and of course Converge)

---

Dee Snider would like to have a word with you if you think his music ain't metal

Chiodos is definitely post hardcore, falling more in line with stuff like The Used, Hawthorne Heights, and Saosin

My vote went for metalcore. Bands like Underoath, blessthefall, Emmure, We Came As Romans, and Born of Osiris are what really got me into metal
