Just because a band is mainstream, it doesn't make them untouchable.

What are you even trying to argue here?

Lol, hardcore used to mean hardcore punk, anarchists beating the **** out of each other whilst listening to angry music



How did this change into Asking Alexandria.

read the original post before wasting my time.

Alexisonfire - Post hardcore band that really blends screamed and clean vocals well.
The dillinger escape plan - Mathcore band, extremely heavy and very technical, easily the best live band i've seen.
Rolo tomassi - Very technical synthy female fronted hardcore band.
La dispute - Spoken wordy hardcore, inspiring lyrics and touching stories in their songs Eg: king park
Pulled apart by horses - The more indie side of hardcore but they have some ridiculously catchy songs.
Converge - Ridiculously heavy mathcore band vocals are especially so. Their album Jane doe has been voted one of the best of all time.
Glassjaw - One of the pioneers of post hardcore, can be very heavy and very melodic when they want to be.
Cancer bats - Hardcore band inspired by Southern metal riffs
Every time I die - similar style to cancer bats and just as good
Gallows - British hardcore influenced by sex pistols


As for pop punk:
New found glory
Sum 41
Early green day
blink 182

You need to be really confident in the quality of your own music to play the elitist 'why does no-one listen to good music like me' card. It doesn't work if you then list a batallion of painfully mediocre pop-metal bands.

This thread is disappointing. So much generic popcore.

My favourite hardcore/post-hardcore bands are:
Rolo Tomassi
Veils
Pulled Apart By Horses
Black Flag
Kerouac
Pariso
Touché Amoré

I also need to check out more Fugazi and At The Drive-In.

You are the best person who has written in this thread so far, congratulations on having an excellent music taste

Lol. Hipster kids are such trolls.

Exactly. I was calling OP a failed hipster for complaing about what is "mainstream" and then picking some of the worst groups to represent the genera.

Yes they do, many genres have evolved significantly. But what you would call "hardcore" is so far removed from what hardcore was/actually is around the world. There is nothing at all in the hardcore bands these days which has any element of hardcore punk.

This to this

Thanks man! And i wouldn't say i dislike their new stuff, but i just don't think it's comaprable to Number[s] and Fame > Demise.



Aw man, sweet, which date did you go to? I had tickets for the Stoke date, but work wanted me to do a shift! : /

Are you going to see them with MMF and Secrets?

I was at the Stoke date. You should have skipped work, was too good not to miss. Only glitch was Crossfaith's equipment going into meltdown after they did their cover of Omen because the whole place had gone a little crazy, meaning they only played 3 songs.

Yeah, I'm coming back from uni to the Birmingham date. Haven't listened to Secrets yet, need to remember to do so, but I'm so excited for MMF.

[tssf_skye]

once again. When i say mainstream, i'm talking about the likes of uk top 40.

I have no problem with mainstream bands in THIS GENRE.

7 of which are the most well known bands in the entirely of metal at that! Well, LoG was borderline but virtually everyone who knows metal has heard of them.

On topic, a friend of mine does metalcore vocals (among other things). I'm no fan of the music but it sounds difficult to perform well:

My experience as metal vocalists suggest that if it hurts you're doing it wrong.

The blackout are really good, I like them
I'm so jealous you've seen Enter Shikari and Cancer bats!

As for 30 seconds to Mars, I'm not too keen on them, I think their latest stuff hasn't been too swell haha

Ah man, that makes it even worse haha! That sucks for Crossfaith though, they're pretty sick.

Same, i'll be at the Birmingham date too! Can't wait for it already!
