Any fellow metalcore fans? Is metal dead?

Don't get me wrong... some rap can be good. It's just few and far between these days. I still listen to old school sometimes. I realize how toxic rap music is everytime I see a woman singing along to a song talking about abusing women. Our youth needs help. Luckily my kids kids listen to everything, but there friends look at me crazy when I pull up in the plum crazy widebody listening to some kind of metal... I think they are expecting Kodak wack, young Wayne, or Lil hibbitty jibitty... not today junior. Hahaha.

Oh man, I LOVE Lil Hibbitty Jibitty!!

I've always been labeled as weird when it comes to music. I have a usb stick in the truck with songs that come from almost every corner of the world. Lot of stuff from before 2010's, the newer stuff is still on my laptop waiting to get copied over. I'm always down to listen to something new :)
 
I listen to a lot of different genres from Flatt and Scruggs Bluegrass to Harry Bellefonte to 80s hair bands like Poison. Not much metal as I don't like screaming ILO singing. A little Sandman from Metallica is good.

I agree with @Dewey though, ACDC is more just hard rock. But Thunderstruck is best played when you are at an airbase and the Thunderbirds are flying. They start blasting Thunderstruck and suddenly an F-16 comes in from behind, buzzing the crowd. It really sneaks up on you by seeing it before the thunder follows. It may be old news to you Navy guys that have dealt with them actually breaking that barrier, but it is a cool performance that can get your blood pumping!
 
I do love early Metallica, black sabbath, iron maiden, judas priest, motorhead, pantera, etc... Most people hate me for it, but I can say without an ounce of ********... I despise AC/DC post Bon Scott!

FIFY.

Playlist and collection is varied from the 60's to current, but I'm a 70's teen kid so mostly all the greats from that era, some earlier, some later.

Metalcore is too much like screamo for me for the most part unless it has clean vocals. I think I recognize 2 or 3 bands looking at a top 100 Metalcore list. Listen to a fair amount of punk and ska punk (thanks to my eldest son).
 
i like alot of music but if i was stuck on a island and could only have 1 thing to listen to it would be
Fates Warning- A Pleasant Shade of Gray

One of my favorite favorite things about metalcore is the clean vocals going into screaming. This is one of my top five songs of all time.

Just a suggestion on something new... 156 does metalcore a little different than most and they have a couple different sounds, but I'm a lyrics person and this song has relatable lyrics to me.

Not bad, the sound reminds me a little of Katatonia
 
it's 90's prog rock.

IMHO More Prog metal than classic Prog Rock, but I'd listen to this along with Dwellers, All them Witches, etc. (though they're both are a bit more blues/psych rock)

Prog Rock (to me) is Yes, Pink Floyd, Rush...(probably my favorite band of all time)

YES was my first concert i've seen rush, metallica, meggadeath, slayer, testament, motley crue, van hargar, dokken, tesla the allman brothers and more i even saw Stevie ray. the top 3 best shows were fates, Stevie, rush in that order. and yes fates is prog metal like dream theater
 
You guys should check out some of the work by some friends.

Guild Of Ages (cover band) but has cut some CD's and toured in Europe.

Tribal Dantz - Duo of two of the GOA crew (and other bands) guys have played together for 35+ years and play for us camping at the lake, etc. Thirty Years

Asha Blaine (Antz from GOA and TD co-writes and plays lead on some of her songs) Asha Blaine - Topic

Mostly a bar band scene these days, but they cut some good licks back in the day.
 
I saw someone post this on X who said this was his little brother. Apparently, this kid made the entire piece himself. If true, he's talented. It's all instrumental and the track rocks. Take a listen.

 
it's 90's prog rock.
I had never heard Fates until just listening to it now. I agree it's prog. It's very Dream Theater-ish. The music sounds very technical like Dream Theater with different vocals. From my limited listening to A Pleasant Shade of Grey, I think I prefer Dream Theater.

Listed to a couple of songs (people watching, terms and conditions, and character development) and will put them in my playlist :) I don't have much metalcore on this one (had to double check) so I'll go down that rabbit hole on my next day off :)
