Subject: Why do you NOT like metalcore?

Wake me, when you need me.

People are easily turned away by the genre simply because "screaming is not talent" or just screaming for vocals in general are garbage. Have you ever tried it yourself? It's something that definitely takes a lot of work and talent. Please tell me why people are turned away by the god-tier genre of music that features more talent than any other genre.

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

Because I prefer actual metal.

I don't like the screaming itself but the rest of it is pretty good.


I just don't see how listening to some guy yelling at the top of his lungs can be enjoyable.

  • 12.30.2012 4:49 PM PDT

Because they don't find it pleasant to listen to.

Because screaming doesn't sound good. It's the same as rap for me, it obviously takes talent but it just isn't enjoyable to listen to.

BNet, the only vidya game forum where sigs are pointless.

I like it, but 90% of the modern -blam!- is just awful. Stuff like this.
Couple hundred open palm mutes, flourish of notes at the end of a line, this will be awesome! Wait, every other band is doing that.

Get your head out of your ass, dude.

I like other sub-genres of metal a whole lot more.

Personally, I usually find metalcore too hard to be taken seriously. The production is often of a turn-off as well. Giant, compressed guitar isn't that appealing to me (especially when downtuned), and neither are mechanical, triggered drums.

Nope.

OT: well i am a metalhead, been so for years now. So i listen to many different genres but unlike you ive already gotten over the metalcore phase and came to realize that theres many other bands out there. That and the metalcore/deathcore/any-core scene is overpopulated and not very diverse. Alot of them sound similar, more so in deathcore. I still do once in a while.

Mreh.

Yes I've listened to it. I don't like it. While it may takes skill to growl, I don't like it, if I did I would hit my dogs.

It depends on the band and the mood Im in as to which sub genre of metal I listen to.

I want to hear music that is pleasant, not emo edgy screaming violent nonsense.

I just don't. Nothing supernatural.

It's partly that, but mainly the fact that it sounds dreadful to me.

Don't LOL if you aren't L'inOL.

Because I don't like screaming.
