I used to listen to a bit of the mainstream kind of metalcore years ago, but have avoided the genre ever since. I've been surprised at just how superior a genre it is under the surface. I'd say that by the late nineties it was probably tied with black metal as the most quality metal genre out there. Death metal was spent, thrash had
been dead, doom was always too low key to really have a driving movement past a few isolated bands, I love power metal but as a genre it's always been as much about being stuck in the past as evolving into something new, and... yeah. Too bad about what happened to metalcore in the '00s though...
