The Music Scene, Then, Now, and the Future: "Core"

Well, over the past few years (I'd say about seven), the metal scene has been plagued with "core". Now some is good and some is bad. Theres metalcore, grindcore, deathcore, rockcore, southcore (think Every time I die), and blah blah blah... You get the point. The thing is about some of these bands is that they hopped on the core trend and started a terrible band which is now popular with scene kids. Instead of using the hardcore elements we all know and love and mixing with it with thrashy metal riffs in genuine fashion. Most of the bands that fuse rock/harcore/metal don't even sound like metal at all. Listen to "Every Time I Die", they think that their southern riffs are catchy and that their hardcore are "crazy". Either that or its just a big joke. Its just simply bad music that isn't catchy. So if you are going to start a metal band, do yourself a favor and take off the bandanna, white belt, and tight pants, and go find an original inspiration.
