im 13 and just gettin into the hard music scene. what is gthe diffence between hardcore and metal no one can seem to explane it to me

Hardcore has two Rs, a D, a C, and an H.

metal has an M, a T, and an L.

That's basically what sets them apart in the most blatant way.

I thought this was going to be a joke. Way to ruin my life.

hardcore is the band youll end up being in
metal is what your friends will call their bands

Hardcore has shitty breakdowns/shitty pits/shitty people/shitty trends

Metal is the direct opposite in my opinion. God damned hardcore dancing.

Hardcore has screaming and yelling... Metal has screaming and growling... The difference is all the yelling.

you will prolly just end up liking metalcore because you dont know the differece...and like all these bands you think are cool..and everyone else will give you crap for it.

Hardcore sucks and Metal doesn't.

Just avoid MANOWAR and PANTERRIBLE.

wtf is hardcore dancing??

Hardcore dancing is when someone eats out your ass and gives you a handjob at the same time.


... No wait, that's something else.

HA

Hardcore dancing: (v) ninja like reaction when breakdowns are afoot; spinning, tight jean ripping kick movements; kung fu spasms

Get away while you still can and get into the country music scene.

ladies and gentlemen, we have our winner!!

Hardcore is a variant of punk music. In the last ten years it's assimilated so much from metal it's become pretty much the same as the current "metalcore" trend. For real examples of what hardcore sounds like listen to some old Judge, Bruisers, Slapshot, DYS, madball, agnostic front, etc...

Metal is not a subgenre like hardcore-punk would be, so it encompasses a hell of a lot more. Everything from grungy blues based rock like zeppelin and sabbath to neoclassical shred to death, grind, etc.... Listen closely: can you hear the bassist? If you can't, you're most likely listening to metal.

best thread I've seen in a while.

eddie said:

use examples that don't suck, plz

One gets laid and the other sings about getting laid.

And if you want to know if your metal or hardcore, wait till you do get laid. Then after you finish if you become ridiculously attached you are metal, if you punch the bitch in the face and put on a wife beater and some sorta hat that isn't a baseball cap.... your hardcore.

hahaha bitch beating is SO hardcore

i can't wait for this to turn into metalcore is gay.

Ohhh yea and I forgot to mention. If your hanging out with your buddies and you find your looking at them in a sexual way, chances are your gay and that makes you metalcore. Other symptoms of being metalcore include hanging around the mall way to much, wearing a tie with every fag piece of clothing you have and enjoying bands like Life of Agony.

Life of Agony is a metalcore band? Oh shit! That's fucking news to me.

No no, they aren't metalcore but because a metalcore fan has homosexual tendencies, they will be more likely to enjoy poop like Life of Agony because it is out of their "scene" and thus makes them "diverse".

Also, they will start wearing Led Zeppelin shirts... all the time... and not own one album.

this is possibly the funniest thing i have read on here,.. . . . great way to start the morning

nate said:

kinda true lol

to simply put it metal owns, hardcore sucks

actually most american thrash metal bands cite a lot of influence from punk. but yeah basically.

my contribution: hardcore is what you play when you're not talented enough to play metal.

I thought metal was what you played when you were a guitar play and you just wanted to play a ton of riffs with out listening to the rest of the band at all.

hahaha

the rev ruined hardcore

metal has metal riffs. Hardcore doesnt. duuuuuhhhhhh~~~~~

Metal has dragons

Hardcore has dragon tattoos.

that's the one right there

Fucking right.

Dont listen to these fuck heads dude, both hardcore and metal have their perks, metals a little heavier and a little darker. Hardcore is a little simpler and direct, more of a punk style, but equally bad ass.
The Black Dahlia Murder/Lamb of god-Metal. Terror/Madball-Hardcore. Youll figure it out man.

Lame examples for metal.

Anywho, i just suggest staying away from the whole hxcxomgxwtf scene and dont become a mallgoth, then your pretty much set.

As for stuff to listen to, theres just to many damned choices to list. Black, Death, Thrash, Prog, Power, Doom, Industrial. I suggest just trying out as many bands as you can, and if a kid in camo shorts, camo hat, and a hatebreed shirt comes up to you and tries to tel you to listen to a certain band...dont listen to him...he probably takes it in the ass.

Hardcore AND Metal both originated from one thing. GANGS.
