mallcore

Bands that draw their main influence from the godfathers, Korn and Deftones and mainly from the modern textbook Nirvana and grunge created with the main rules being "keep your topics personal and introspective" and "don't show any great talent with the guitar".

Nirvana are the biggest anti heavy metal band in music history. They wanted to end all metal in 1991, not just the glam stuff. Kurt Cobain said on record that metal is "dumb kid music" and that their music was a new and better product. Jonathan Davis states the same thing about Korn & so he is the musical son of Kurt. Korn are basically Nirvana with drop tuning and attempts at "heaviness" by mindless screams and growls.

The genre as a whole is geared around challenging pop music in record sales and mass popularity,something evident with bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit attacking pop artists. Heavy Metal has no interest in this as it is cult music for it's devoted fans.

As it is trying to attract mass popularity it has to stick close to the modern rock rules and they can't step too far out of that box. Don't show too much talent on the guitar,don't play riffs that are too heavy and stick to introspective "life sucks" themes.

Mallcore is boring in style and spirit. It is geared for mass consumption and the themes of the music are always introverted and depressing. For me and hordes of other metalheads and music fans of other genres it is the worst music there is. It's false "Heaviness", it's depressing and self depricating rants, it's completely uncatchy sound, irritating riffs, lack of melody or interesting guitars. One of the worst forms of music ever.
