If thats true then that means you're putting Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine and Linkin Park in the same genre?

No, now you're confusing rapcore with rap rock or rap metal respectively, appearantly seperate genres in their own right. Rapcore mixes rap and hardcore punk and was a predecessor and influence on nu metal.

..

According to Wikipedia, Bloodhound Gang and Suicidal Tendencies are examples.

OK so rapcore is rap fused with punk rather than rock or metal? Examples? I hate sub genres.

Well, the "core" attached to the end of anything usually means hardcore is part of the equation. But I agree that the type of hardcore in the rapcore mix is often so close to metal that I don't see much of a difference between it and rap-metal.

All I posted was basically off the wikipedia article. I don't like subgenres either and since most people don't really know them, you often end up having to educate people what they mean before there's any point using them descriptively in a talk about music.

If I listen to anything with core in it, I'm usually blissfully ignorant.

I like hardcore quite a bit, which is the source of all this "core" business.

Biohazard

I'm not really sure what sub-genre these guys would technically be, but they were like metal meets urban rap, and I remember being a horrified little headbanger when I first heard them. I can still remember that song "Slam"...ugh.

I've heard a lot of different variations of rap-metal since then, and while I'm not a big fan, none of it seems as bad as Biohazard.

I have heard many worse bands in my life. It's so easy to hate upon a popular band that may have set young kids onto a path of exploration musically.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't doubt there is garbage worse than Slipknot out there. I've just always hated them. Their music just sounds like GUHHHHHHH GRRRRRRRR and other angry throat sounds.
