Dayeth Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 What does it actually mean having "core" to the end of the name of a genre?Just wondering after reading the term "pop metal core"... is that any different to Pop Metal?...and there's Grindcore etcGenre-ising (so? its a word now) can get way over the top.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 the core implies that it is mixing the style with hardcore influences. grind as a seperate genre exists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan G Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 'core' was originally the use of hardcore within a style of music. For instance metalcore bands fuse the technical and often melodic aspects of metal with many of the ethics and oveertones of hadcore bands.Take Killswitch Engage for example:Classic metal riffs and harmonies, but with pit-inducing beatdowns and shouty hardcore vocals.These days 'core' is practically synonimous with 'alternative music' as 'core' is often thrown on the end of a style of music to make it sound complete, eg Mathcore, grindcore. Calling a band just 'math' would sound a bit silly!Effectively it's just a way of labelling a band so explaining their sound is easier. Ben's post "pop metalcore" to me just means that the band in question are a metal/hardcore band who take a more accessible approach to song-writing. Which I find a lot more explanatory than if he just said "the new 36 Crazyfist album is good". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
