Post Your Prime Metalcore Cutletz Here

Noice! BFMV and that song are one of my first entries into the metalcore genre.

I am an enjoyer of metal, but all of the 1000 metal categories confuse me. I wish someone would start a thread and describe each one of the main metal genres, and include a clip of the preeminent example.

There's a shite ton of debate regarding what metal subcategory one band is and what subcategory another is. And then there are the subcategories people associate with bands just to be cheeky (crabcore, mallcore, promcore, violincore, gothcore, etc.) Honestly, it seems like most metal bands traverse a number of the so-called categories, so I don't see the point of trying to pin them down except to come off as an elitist.

Personally, I just refer to most post-2000s bands that mostly alternate between harsh and melodic vocals as metalcore.
