[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 4227756, member: 35678"] I dig a lot of it; I think that it's unfortunate that it gets bashed more for the sense of style (or lackthereof?) of the musicians than what the people are actually playing. However, this is not to say that the music these bands are playing is [i]that[/i] terribly great in any case; there is such a glut in that scene right now that there is a lot of garbage out there and a lot of it has hit it mainstream, which is unfortunate itself. However, completely writing off a (sub-)genre of whatever music you might dislike is inherently and incrediably close-minded, at least in my opinion (and a lot of people tend to do this, which is dumb). With metalcore, the trendy haircuts and clothes and the glut of similar bands with poorly-worded names has created a big shiny target for "real" metalheads, and (from what I hear in my city from the locals) a sense of dis-association from the punk/hardcore scene. In any case, going band-by-band will always net you a ton of terrible bands and a few really great ones, and that's how I ty approach any style of music (from Drone Doom to the dreaded Glam Metal of the 80s). I also think how it's kinda funny with the trend of this style of music, and how it went from emo to "screamo" to metalcore to deathcore. The emo kiddies are growing up and adding in more extreme metal elements, which is something I doubt anyone saw coming. Bands I dig: All that Remains, As I Lay Dying, God Forbid, Killswitch Engage (except their new album, which blew), Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, Unearth, Winds of Plague. cheers, --N [/QUOTE]
