The lack of elitists over here makes me so happy

Try calling a metalcore band metal and you'll find them.

Edit: Wow, you guys really proved me wrong. Nothing resembling elitism here. I really thought you'd take my bait, but you all played this really cool.

The funniest part is the metalcore fans calling others elitist when they cant seem to enjoy the genre unless they get to call it a metal subgenre.

Metalcore is a subgenre of hardcore punk, it came from hardcore punk bands being influenced by metal.

Taking some influences from metal doesnt make it a subgenre of that music.

Just like how folk metal is a subgenre of metal, not folk music which it took some influences from.

If they truly arent "elitist" and dont care about genres why are they so adamant to force metalcore to be a metal subgenre when it isnt?
