3. You can't be something in between
4. You don't listen only to Deathcore, you also like The Faceless and The Black Dahlia Murder
5. The new Job for A Cowboy record is so lame; you prefer the 'old' stuff with a lot of bree bree grunts.
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.
11. Instead, sing about personal struggles, society and love.
12. Listen (or make believe you do) to at least 3 or 4 death metal band to higher your credibility.
13. Be Christian.
14. Dress like a gangster but wear a Suffocation shirt.

17. You're allowed to listen to rap and metalcore/screamo.
18. Label yourself as "Gore not Core" even if you're Waking the Cadaver.
19. Change musical direction after 2 albums because trends don't last.
20. Or label yourself as Death Metal because people made bad critics about your band being poser metal.

22. Because if you like that album, people will call you names.
23. Wear tight jeans and stretch earrings.
24. Be shy and by yourself at concerts.
25. Because we know you came for the opening band.
26. But you might dance like a ninja on steroids if you are with some friends.
27. But don't mosh.
28. Inhale scream (or bree bree grunt if you're more br00tal).
29. When your band is on a line-up with metal acts, your band mates must wear their DEATH METAL shirts.

31. Headline a 20 year old Death Metal band.
32. You have discovered Cryptopsy because of The Unspoken King.
33. Look like your girlfriend.
34. Get signed by Metal Blade for your very first release
35. After one EP onlyt, release a lot of merch.
36. I mean tons and tons of merch.
37. Musical content is the least important part about your band.
38. Use the word "brutal" a lot.

46. as long as you fit in.
47. Your band's T-shirts are full of flashy colors with rainbow sentences on the back.
48. You have a lot of friends on Facebook.
49. By looking at you, people must not know you listen to metal.
50. Metalheads are so unpopular.
51. Have brutal and unoriginal band names such as Dance Club Massacre, Annotations of an Autopsy or I Killed the Prom Queen.
52. You're only touring because the tour promoter want to make some money.
53. Old School Stuff sucks.
54. Insult emos.
55. Even though you're probably one.
56. Convince people to lower their pants and cut their hairs.
57. But do it over the internet.
58. Or else people are going to call you pussy.
59. But people will also call you pussy on the internet, see rule #7.
60. You must at least have an emo, a gangster and a bald guy with stretch earrings in your band.
61. Teacher-looking guys are also accepted.
62. You're a slave to trends.

66. Have a user name similar to 'XxHrdCoreDeathStrikerxX'.

82. Kids love them.
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.
87. But in fact are weak and unoriginal.
88. And the fact that you have blast beats in your song will make it good and compensate for your cheap breakdowns.

For some reason, I didn't find it funny but then again, I know little about death metal and nothing about deathcore and emos.

Just to watch him die?

Anyway, I didn't find it funny at all, but I guess it's probably because in France (or maybe in the whole of Europe, I don't know) we don't have the same concern about deathcore, or even metalcore for that matter. The trendiness and subsequent strong hate for these genres is mainly a North American kind of thing from my point of view. I might be wrong though, maybe it's just me

O dude, you have some lucky were you live then... Because here at least I've seen waaaay to much emo and deathcore and waaaay to little metal. It's nothing that really matters to me. Everyone to each own. But sometimes it's just so damn annoying.


There were some brilliant points here tbh:

8. Your band logo must be real' br00tal.
9. But your band name is in fact Rose Funeral or Bring Me the Horizon.
O god... I hate Bring Me The Horizon.

33. Look like your girlfriend.
It happens often when I'm in town and don't really know who's the girl or the guy.

Def thumbs up for this one! however you forgot rule 102...or wherever they may've gone:

when someone starts actually moshing during a breakdown, gang up on him. cause hitting people in a mosh pit is just not brutal. then after the fight, deny anything, call the cops, and get the show shut down (this happens a lot in south carolina, not sure about elsewhere)

Amusing yes, but also very steriotypical, and insulting to anyone who ligitimently works within the deathcore genre. Don't get me wrong, this is 95% true, but it is very disrespectful. Personally i dig writing blackend deathcore. The scene has been so watered down by kids participating only because its the "in" thing to do. Fuck, I was a black metal vocalist for years, and the only reason i've changed that, is new musics' influence on me. I couldn't care less if i make money, or become popular. To me it's all about the expression of my thoughts, that is my reason for being involved in music at all. To be honest, I'd slay myself on stage before i wiill ever change my style due to whats cool. And if you will.... Then im the monster in your closet, wont you open the door?

Very enjoyable i dislike any core unless you consider grind to be core which i don't. It just sucks how suffocation is thrown in as what started deathcore because they're amazing. keep it meshuggah

I don't listen to Deathcore (expect one band only, which is more metalcore/deathcore), but these rules suck. See nu metal rules or power metal rules to see how to make a good rules

These are clearly written by a hater of a genre, you are supposed to include preconceptions and stereotypes, but at the same time not looking bias towards it. Also, you'd like to insult them, but you don't really know how, so you keep repeating this patterns over and over and over again.

No, this has happened a few times at a couple little venues around my area, and I live in Illinois.
