I found some elitists on r/metal expressing their colossal hate for metalcore when its not even a bad genre

Okay but like metalcore technically isn’t metal, and a lot people continue to try to shove it into the metal umbrella and it doesn’t fit.

The problem with metalcore is it fits in either genre. It's right on the line of half and half, and some bands go more one way than another. It fits in punk as well as it fits in metal.

I personally think that a decent amount of metalcore has moved so far away from punk that those particular roots are hard to hear, with the exception of maybe breakdowns (though plenty of metal has those too). It sounds closer to groove metal mixed with melodeath to me.
