To be fair, pop punk is a bit easier to listen to than screamo and hardcore music. A little bit of self infliction to my own music taste never hurt anyone ;)

Wow, I'm really necroing this thread. Anyways, Asking Alexandria is my go-to when I'm in a screamo type of mood. My girlfriend got me into them and I don't regret starting.

Exactly.

My boyfriend is trying to get me into them. Should I bother?

^ I'd advise against it personally.

:laughing:

I don't really listen to metal core personally anyway but I hadn't heard much other than their new album. I like the drumming, that's about it.

So your boyfriend's a poser? Right on

I think Johnny is a pretty good singer, the band itself seems to be consisted of competent musicians...so, you'd think that they'd make music that wasn't so bland. I favor Johnny and his new band We Are Harlot over anything Asking Alexandria has put out. That's not to say that We Are Harlot are amazing, more like a step over mediocre or average.
