Safecore is a relatively
new term, most commonly used as a pejorative word to describe the
sound of metal artists who frequently abuse breakdowns, electronic synthesizers, and heavily-modified singing to accompany screamed vocals which are typically easier to understand than more "brutal" techniques. Safecore bands tend to follow fashion trends and design trends, such as using a catchy typographical
lyric video in their uploads, or branding the current
popular logo style on their albums. Safecore bands are normally frowned upon by the majority of other metalheads.
"Dude! Did you hear that new Capture The Crown band? They sound a lot
like Asking Alexandria."
— Typical safecore fan
"Nah, dude, that stuff is ridiculous. I don't listen to safecore. I'd much rather
jam to some
nice unique progressive metal."
