![]() Just because something is heavy doesn't make it metal. It's that simple.Īlso, don't get confused and equate heaviness with metal. But we want our metal circles to be filled with metal fans. We don't care what kind of metal it is either. If you don't listen to metal, either start listening or don't bother being in a metal sub or page or forum. The problem arises when metalcore fans who don't listen to metal try to make their way into metal circles. If you like metal and metalcore, you'll do just fine in r/metal.

Or on the deathcore side of things, you'll see a lot of hate towards Whitechapel and not so much for IA or JFAC. This is why there's a lot of hate towards those bands and not nearly as much hate towards bands like Converge and Unearth, which actually seem to be fairly accepted in metal circles. They'll hear a band like AA or BVB and think it's super brutal metal because they simply haven't heard much else, then when they get rejected from metal circles, they get really defensive (as seen quite a bit in this thread). ![]() You'll notice that generally the issue stems from basic entry-level metalcore fans who don't yet know the difference. Their music and fans are a lot more accepted in metal circles because of the general awareness of not being metal. Crust and grind fans don't insist that they're metal. This is the main difference between metalcore (which metalheads dislike) and stuff like grind and crust (which metalheads like). Why do people on metal archives hate metal core? Because metalcore fans get really butthurt when you tell them it isn't metal.
