I don't give a rats ass what others think about my choice of music. I just thought I could shed some light on just why I find metalcore charming and enjoyable.
Ridiculous analogy? Not at all. Just 'cause racism is a far more serious case, doesn't make less relatable. Good thing you think it's similar aswell.
There's a general opinion from a lot of old punkers and hardcore punkers saying metalcore is bad cause it isn't hardcore or punk. This also goes for the people more prone to listening to death metal and/or groove/trash metal, perhaps also black metal. They "hate" 'cause it isn't technical enough, doesn't have the attitude, is too simple, too cheesy. So what? Obviously a lot of people like Coldplay, The Beatles and The Beach Boys - all sharing the fact that it's **** simple music (besides from Coldplay, who basically steal their best songs).
