...Metalcore is metal. If it wasn't, we would just call it core. And even then, the -core stems off of Hardcore, another genre less like metal, but still metal in my opinion. (better brace for the flames.)
If it was up to us, real metal fans, it would not be called Metalcore, just like most of us refer to Nu-Metal as Aggro-Rock.
Blah blah blah Metalcore is Metal influenced. But has more Core than Metal 99%% of the time You've heard it a million times...
Everything about Metalcore is a slap to the face of real Metal. The look, The sound, The lyrics, The Cliché-ness of it, The ridiculous "moshing' throwing down, The horrible HxC Breakdowns to The "technical" sweeps.
If you can't accept it, you never will.
