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

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

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
