Songs like hysteria by muse and no one knows by QOTSA
ONLY THESE TWO SONGS FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE BANDS. SEMI-HEAVY, BUT VERY MELODIC AND EMOTIONAL

Liked "Hysteria" by muse and "No one knows" by Queens of The Stone age.
Now, I get that CO and Nick are pretty much different but this mistrust of Israel is a common thread. What precedents does this set for mainstrem conservative politics in the near future?
Metal, in general is a genre which is pretty loosely defined and even a lot of hard-rock and metal-adjacent rock and punk(and its subgenres) get thrown into it. But for someone who's listened to (and studied) metal for a long time, I can pretty accurately point at an "aggregate" metal sound that people refer to when they use the term 'Metal'.
It's something like a mixture of Thrash and NWOBHM which (depending on the person) can also include Death Metal elements.
Now obviously, one can't pin down rock and metal to one "sound". But, the labels are there and mostly to serve a purpose, not to put people into tiers of insanity(cough cough I mean intensity).
But one genre which I haven't been able to pin down is "Metalcore".
Now I'm sure you all know what Thrash or NWOBHM or Death Metal or Grindcore or something like that sounds like, right?
What if I asked you to pin down your thoughts on what "Metalcore" sounds like? If you're from the generation I'm from, you'll 110% reply with bands like: Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack!, Bad Omens, A Day To Remember, Falling in Reverse and so on.
Basically, the late 2000s "emo/screamo" music.
Now my brother has a different answer!
He replies with: TRIVIUM, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, KILLSWITCH, LAMB OF GOD, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE(he's 5 years younger to me)
Now I know metalcore is approximately a mix of Hardcore punk and Metal, it still has taken more rebirths than Goku did in DBZ.
I'm not trying to put a label on what you or me like, it's just I wanna find an answer to what metalcore means to the reader of this post and what they think of. And what's closest to the "original" wave of metalcore.
