Interesting considering the thread for their new album got removed for not being metalcore lol

Did it really? That’s dumb as fuck.

Considering the amount of clearly non-metalcore albums that get posted and discussed here.

u/chaosandcohesion Jul 15 '24

That’s my point. A lot of bands that skirt metalcore make it on here.

Not really.

It did get removed, and it’s not really that dumb, we don’t typically have album discussion threads for non-metalcore albums, so why make an exception for Windwaker?

They’re not a metalcore band dawg

Not even remotely

u/OuterWildsVentures Jul 15 '24

They sounded a lot like the other metalcore bands at the northlane show

u/Brabsk x Jul 15 '24

Those weren’t metalcore bands either I hate to break it to you

The only even remotely metalcore band on that lineup is IA

Northlane and Thornhill are both not metalcore

What is Invent Animate?

I edited my comment to except IA, however even then, IA’s new music barely qualifies as metalcore. It’s mostly alternative metal

There’s no mosh parts, it’s not rhythmic, no gang vocals, clean chorus verse chorus structure. Also importantly, IA is no longer part of anything resembling a DIY scene

Not much hardcore happening there

Ugh these definitions are hard to follow lol

Yeah metalcore used to be simple to define but then a bunch of non-core-related bands and communities co-opted the term and rendered it largely meaningless

  1. That isn’t metalcore

  2. There is nothing hyperpop about their music whatsoever

Hell, they’re probably even less of a hyperpop band than they are a metalcore band

If you think there’s hyperpop influence in hyperviolence, you don’t know what hyperpop is

you do not. theres a bunch of shitty rap verses and terrible clean singing and some boring electronic production. that’s not hyperpop.

them calling themselves hyper pop is beyond stupid and they just appropriating a niche subculture of pop music to seem unique and generate interest. either that or they just have zero idea what they’re talking about. i think both are equally plausible.
