Metal is growing in popularity here a little, mainly because of Metal Core. Some Metalcore fans branch out into other metal sub-genres.
Yeah, go figure! a tiny bit of it is not bad, maybe 2%

about 0.000000000000000000000000001% of people here have good taste in music.
I think it's an overall American plague, bad taste in music. We make some great music, just don't support it very well. Leave it to the Japanese, Europeans, Canadians and South Americans for having much better taste in music. ANd supporting our metal bands.
yea, that's how it started for me...
although I never really got into it that hard, I moved pretty quickly into thrash and power metal, and after that, everywhere else.
Very similar to my Nephew, he started out with some metalcore and numetal, then got into Maiden, Slayer, Sabbath etc. etc. The good thing about Metalcore and MuMetal is they are starting points, introductions to metal in a way for many young fans, so in that way they are a good thing I think. I do like a little Metalcore, no NuMetal though.
yea, exactly.
I like just a little metalcore and numetal now... I've pretty much moved completely out of that.
Yep, so I would not put Metalcore down, my only complaint with it is most of it all sounds the same. I like some of the riffs and Thrash elements, but I don't care for most of the vocalists. Lamb Of God's vocals are not typical Metalcore, and their music is heavier and nastier than the typical MC band. The vocals are what wear on me with Killswitch.
I don't even listen to In Flames that much these days...
bet Smoo will like that.
yea, I agree... metalcore vocals are mostly crap.
which is why I don't like Shadows Fall that much.
Lamb of God are a decent band imo, but I don't listen to them.
and Killswitch is basically crap.
Older In Flames are good in my opinion. Whoracle, Lunar Strain, Colony, The Jester Race are all good. The later stuff not really
