Man I don't think metalcore was ever really "cool" underoath/avenge sevenfold early stuff was ok but everything else is kinda... I would rather listen to depressing Morrisey than metalcore, it kind of like Avril lavigne with better hair. Purely my opinion but it all sounds like a cross between widowdusk and stand atlantic. I am not a gatekeeper or some purist I have most everything on my playlist from NWA to Holst. My most played though is Bad Religion, Social Distortion, Charged GBH, Manu Chao, A.N.I.M.A.L., Almafuerte, Bob Dylan, and Woody Gutherie (till I need to focus on a color map or inspection report then I have to calm down with Bowie or Elton John). I said all that to say this my son (18) has a wide selection of more contemporary metalcore bands on his play list, and that isnt really the kind of music my ex wife is into (he spends the weekends with me) and my little brother (2 years younger) only listens to jazz. I really think music is picked based on how it resonates with your soul, all those bands I listen to alot...I dont like every song maybe 50-65% of the music but there are just songs in there that can take you out or put you into any mood. Sorry about the rambling its bed time been up way to long.
