Enjoy thy thread.

Perhaps because I spent soooooooo much time as a young adult with punk kids going to diy shows, but modern hardcore is the most generic music to me, and converge are the archetype. It's just boring, no energy, no hooks, and bad poetic/feigned intellectual lyrics being spewed by a dude/lady with neck tattoos. It's affected heaviness, really.
