I understand why some metalcore, like BMTH and Attack Attack are hated but then again there is heavy metal like this



Ok, it's not as bad as Attack Attack but isn't that far away either. They just look, sound and move ridiculous. And that's actually "respected" "heavy" metal. There is Nu Metal heavier than that and I(and most people for that matter) wouldn't even classify Nu Metal as metal.
Heaviness isn't the issue. Much of melodic metalcore is just dull, not out of a lack of heaviness but because it's a pale imitation of thrash/melodic metal/hardcore/etc. I used to like Trivium, but now I could care less. The guitar wants to be aggressive, but it's really just stale. The vocals wish they had any kind of emotion, but Heafy's screaming is just kind of there because that's what you do when you play metalcore.
