Lol, it IS 100% opinion.
So many people on this forum will talk shit about a band and post some video of "real metal" just because they feel "metal" can only be thrashy, tremelo picking, all double bass bullshit.
And see, in my opinion, most bands with "core" in their sub-genre are metal.
Like the people who say Emmure aren't a metal band, they're just not metal in that person's eyes. But to me, they're a fuck ton heavier than any of that black metal stuff, or most death metal even. Why? Dunno. It's just what I consider to be heavy.
Edit: Here's a simpler example...
Fuck all the sub-genres. Leave it at just Metal and Rock. Then see how many "false metal" bands there are. Because at that point, if someone threw even that old AA song into the rock category, they would just be proving the point in my first post.
I thought that was actually pretty awesome - sounds like Blink 182 or any other old feelgood punk stuff meets metalcore. And they managed not to play a stereotypical breakdown!
