"Metal" isn't generally consdiered to require any of these things. You said you don't know the difference, I'd say that's probably the difference right there.
I know you're saying that "hardcore" can be used to reference some other style of music, but I severely doubt this band are referring to "dance music"-style "hardcore". If they are, they aren't any less wrong and are still metal. |
Here is a word.
Here is a meaning.
They have absolutely
nothing to do with each other, have fun appropriating English for your own private language. Every other genre of music seems to do this with hardcore, which renders it even more meaningless than it was in the first place.
Might as well call your music shoegaze.
These guys though, aye they're definitely metal, somewhat slipped my mind that this was their thread.
