Oh well.

(Thank you, father, for the Stiff Little Fingers records. Thank you, mother, for the Siouxsie and the Banshees songs you used to, somewhat disturbingly, sing me as a baby)

Damn, I wish my dad listened to SLF.  Siouxsie I can take or leave, but Stiff Little Fingers are just, well, they're them.  One of the top three bands Ireland has ever produced (others: Pogues, Thin Lizzy).

And addressing kikanjuuneko, plenty of people don't like Slayer and Maiden.  I would know, I work with several of them.  Other than that, you evidently know more about metalcore than I do, so you are in a better position to defend than I am to attack.  I try to stay out of the whole metalcore mess most of the time.

Signum_Tenebrae:

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Hardcore bands are fine. I have nothing really against them. I just don't like it when they pick up a second guitarist and get plastered all over the front of Metal Hammer. Because, all these 'metalcore' guys are just another wave of bastards fucking up metal. You can get defensive about the music you love, then I can get defensive about the music I love. -core in general is fucking ruining the metal pseudo-mainstream as completely as nu metal did five years back.

In the words of Ministry:

STOP IT!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

kikanjuuneko:
You know, it never occurred to you that most of this situation is to blame on record labels, rather than the bands and the fans themselves? I mean, seriously, it's just like any other (good) thing that happens to get big. Someone stumbles upon it, sees that they can shift a lot of units of said thing, and then it all goes to hell. Me, I'm waiting for the whole metalcore fad thing to be goddamned over so everything can just go back to normal.

To a time where "hardcore" didn't mean "talks a whole bunch of shit on the Lambgoat messageboard".

He has their records too...

Damn, but my dad's a wierdo. His band once supported The Damned (they were spat at and booed off because they weren't the scheduled support, but that's still fucking awesome) and now he's the Dean of a university.

How does stuff like that even think about happening? I mean, really. It's just not on. He had a mohawk. He was a member of the Hunt Saboteurs. He has a doctorate in 12th century Icelandic poetry. Eeeeaakk!!

Oh man, I am running into sleep deprivation again. What was this topic even about? Ozzfest right? Ahhh...

Umm...anyway, Dillinger Escape Plan are definitely mathcore. I may not be in a position of much intellectual authority on the whole 'core' thing, but I do bloody well know what metal is. And DEP ain't got any.
