6. You don't give a shit what people think
7. But be constantly involved in a fight over the internet.
8. Your band logo must be real' br00tal.
9. But your band name is in fact Rose Funeral or Bring Me the Horizon.
10. Be br00tal, but not too much 'cause eating babies and having sex with corpses is kind of disgusting.

55. Even though you're probably one.
56. Convince people to lower their pants and cut their hairs.

83. And they sure are easy to make.
84. You never run out of breakdowns.
85. Because they all sounds the same.
86. And are catchy.

Metalheadpunk is basically me about 6 months ago. I was big into dino thrash back then, talking about how awesome lame bands like Overkill and Forbidden are. There's a reason nobody cares about those bands in 2011-they were never any good. On the other hand, bands such as Carnifex manage to inject melody, brutality, and even danceable breakdowns into a single song, while The Browning is paving the way for the inevitable fusion of extreme electronic music and metal. That takes a lot more skill than rapidly playing the low E string and shouting about death/politics/beer

But hey, look on the bright side, dino thrash is better than dino black metal. "RARARA I IZ SO KVLT LOL HOW U LIKE MY DEMO LIMITED 2 666 COPPIES!!!!!!" The only old school style of metal worth listening to is death metal, like Slipknot, and only because it has the most resemblance to deathcore.

100% sure. He's 18, probably listened to deathcore in highschool, and just graduated to the church of real metal. When I joined Metal Archives a couple years ago, half of my posts were of me talking about how much I hate -core. It's interesting seeing this guy act just like I did, makes me realize what a douche I was. Of course I didn't go through a -core phase; getting into metal via the thrash resurgance, and hated deathcore before I even knew what it was.

Look people, ive been listening to thrash metal since i was about 7 years old no joke, and ive had my fare share of about every type of metal out their, including deathcore and metalcore, and i do not like it at all. Ive seen countless friends go from thrash or death or classic metal to deathcore be thier favorite metal genre, but maybe thats just because its alot more popular. Ive stuck to what i like forever, and its not going to change, so before you go making assumptions about people maybe you should ask them about it. And i know what deathcore is its a shitty exuse for death metal, but if you want to like it then fine with me.

I've never seen any random deathcore dude slipping it off on this shit cause he knows very well, thats not very cool << . But guys do pick up the fight with any asshole and ended it chanting "br00tal fuk", g4y, pussyhead and all that crap and go to home abuse their moms with bad anger, smash the door and watch PORN.

Haha look kid, you just jumped on a fucking band-wagon, you probably like deathcore because its popular right now, your just a scene kid. The good thing about real metal such as thrash is that it never dies man, its been around since 1981 and its never gonna die, there are stll countless bands from the 80's still kicking ass, plus there are alot of newer bands that are keeping it alive. Deathcore will die down just like grunge and hair metal did. Shit kid, even those are better than deathcore, at least their frontmen actually new how to sing and not just suck on dick through the microphone.

Actually I like deathcore because it offers a lot more musically than any other metal genre. It's the most brutal, explosive, progressive style of music I've ever listened to. That old thrash stuff doesn't have a place in modern times. Once you dinosaurs all die out the rest of the world will only remember the true greats like Suicide Silence and Whitechapel. Nobody will even remember who Metallica was.



If you think Metallica is thrash man then you are more of an retard than i thought you were, they used to be thrash but not anymore man, and if you want music thats progressive then listen to Rush or Dream Theater. If you want brutal then listen to Cannibal Coprse or Slayer. Musically? Thats a fail too, breakdowns are pure shit, and just because someone can do the double bass forever doesnt make them a good drummer, screaming is not singing, and where are the guitar solos? I dont think ive ever heard a guitar or at least a decent one from a deathcore band. Metal musicians create music man (I will say that deathcore is better than rap though), and deathcore doesnt seem very musically inclined. All of the thrash bands have excellent riffs, solos, vocals, drum and even bass lines. Especially if you get into techincal thrash like Coroner, or even Megadeth, Dave Mustiane truly knows how to write music, plus musicians like Dimebag Darrell of Pantera or Chuck Shuldiner of Death (Death is more of a death metal band but have alot of thrash elements) R.I.P. both of them. All those plus many more musicians of thrash and classic metals are way more talented than any deathcore band.


Brah! seems like you're too angrily infuriated and snapping some random stuff which is more of like "Alphabets cramming"/ "returning to a kindergarten classes to learn the basics"! I think you need SOME PURE SMASHING DEATHCORE ALBUMS FROM ME DUDE. Temme when we can meet? but phluzz dont attack Troy on this matter. He is chronic deathcore dude who just slipped in.

This list is soooo bias!

it sucks how I came too late for the online fighting

*looking at rule 23* It's funny though, I rock skinnies.......i think it's actually pretty metal, not necessarily the gauge earrings though, that's more emo.

rule 13 makes me so sad "Be Christian". As I lay Dying and Impending Doom come to mind. Impending Doom are the gayest, most pussy band in the genre most likely (fck I hate them!).....It makes me wonder, how can any congregation accept their sound? (aren't they so close-minded they'd see you as "demons"?) and if those bands are so christian, where'd they draw their inspiration from? Morbid Angel? Deicide? See the problem? It creates oxymorons and confusion with the band members in their pesonal life, so it's cheaper they stop trying to impress those christian fucks, don't you think?
