You know why people hate metalcore and nu-metal!?
It´s polluting real metal…
Amy Winehouse and Britney Spears have´nt done any damage to metal but thanks to nu-metal Metallica had “St.Anger” and Slayer had “Diabolus in musica” wich both suck…Metalcore is the new Nu-metal…It affected Kirk Windstein,a great underground musician who plays bands like Crowbar and Down to make Kingdom of Sorrow…Wich sucks ofcorpse…It is the downgrade of good music…

[...] MetalMartyr writes how tired it is to hear people saying “I hate metalcore”. In fact, it is tired to hear people complaining how they hate this metal genre and that metal genre. I agree with Scott (the author of MetalMartyr.Com). Many times when people say they hate this and that genre, they actually don’t have much idea of the genre. It appears that many die hard metalheads hate metalcore. Why? Well, I’m not sure, but I guess the reason is that metalcore is more for the masses than thrash, death and especially black metal. I personally enjoy melodic death metal the most, but I am also fan of many thrash, black, power and even metalcore bands. I am not into Linkin Park, which I consider more rock, but I enjoy Bullet For My Valentine very much. [...]

I find some of the sub-genres useful, but christ! I think people go way overboard on it sometimes. I have to agree with Paul. They are useful when be descriptive when doing reviews, but when it starts to go over the top it just seems like a new way to either sell records or make something sound more interesting than it really is. When Korn exploded on to the scene with Blind it was the newest greatest thing because things were getting a bit stale. Then their popularity soared and people started to hate that and them. The same thing happened with Slipknot. Like I said before, Slipknot’s sound has change from album to album and started sounding more metal than nu-metal but people that hated them from the get go didn’t bother giving the new stuff a chance and continue to hate in fear of being a sell out or looking stupid because they like something that they didn’t like before. Swallow your pride, STFU and bang your head!

I too just don’t see the point in all the sub genres. I like to think of metal in genral. Is it heavy?? It’s probably metal. As for hating nu-metal, I think it is stupid. Are Korn and Slipknot not heavy just because their albums sell a million copies? I have always thought it was stupid not to like some band just because they are popular.

Honesty in blogging, Scott? You’re a rare bird indeed, sir.

On another note, I could have tecnorati tagged this comment with Britney and amy’s name in hopes to draw more pageviews from the ones that do idolize them, but I don’t want those people here and that would make me no better than those previously named celebs.
