When your talking metalcore, you're really referring to melodic-metalcore bands like Killswitch Engage and In Flames. Original metalcore acts like Converge and Botch kinda fall in between mathcore and grindcore, which totally kicks-butt. On the the other hand, these melodic bands that hit the emo chorus just sound so contrived and phony. It makes me laugh when 100's of bands use the same formula with the screaming and the feel good nauseating clean singing and think they're actually on to something. Totally and completely lame.
