metalcore kid

A kid who listens to metalcore. Band shirts, bandanas, faded jeans, long hair and Chuck Taylor's would be typical to wear. They enjoy hardcore dancing and going to shows. They're a little slow when it comes to music; as in, not cutting-edge. Usually, they don't limit themselves as to how much of their personality they choose to flaunt. They aren't emo, scene, or hardcore kids. They're metalcore kids.

That new metalcore sounds very 90s nu metal. That because it's nu metalcore.

True MetalCore

MetalCore-The mix of metal and hardcore fast melodic hitting guitars, Thundering drums major double bass, Screaming, growling melodic, meadow singing.

The glory days of Metal which was at its peak in early 2000's before the arrival of mixed genre's (Deathcore, Emo, Scence metal,ect). Some of bands do stay true to what metalcore stands for most have been mixed in with all the different genre's.
Metal is a mess now, So many bands... So many genres.... Bands that dont deserve getting signed are left and right. Metal's worse decade so far. But here are some True Metalcore albums from the glory days.

Nu Metalcore

Can be looked at in two ways:
1) Punk Rock/Melodic Hardcore influenced Metalcore
2) Nu Metal influenced Hardcore

A relatively new sub genre, it has begun to rise to prominence in mid to late 2010, with bands like Bring Me The Horizon and Architects adding very prominent melodic hardcore/punk rock elements to their Metalcore sound. A possible reason for this is the decline in appeal for traditional heavy metal, which is what lead to nu metal originating in the mid to late 90's.

Obvious influences include Comeback Kid, Alexisonfire and early Thrice.

Another example of this hardcore adding in nu metal elements such as rapping/hip hop beats etc whilst still keeping some 'heavy metal' characteristics such as occasional double bass drum beats.

A perfect example of this is Deez Nuts, which is a 'solo' project from JJ Peters, the drummer of now disbanded Metalcore outfit I Killed the Prom Queen.

How long this sub genre will flourish for is anyone's guess, but it will definitely be a favourite amongst the younger audience.
Architects (UK) went from tech metal, to metalcore and now to nu metalcore. They must be really trying to sell those albums...
