I first read this as satire of the complexity of musical sub-genres ("How do I find things like this song I like? Is there a name for it? ... wait, it's really just five people posting things on youtube?"). Then I realized that it might not be satire. Brilliantly played, if the former, and also if the latter. ;)
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoI'm entirely serious. It's much like metalcore. People associate it with melodic stuff like Killswitch Engage, but in reality the first generation of metalcore bands were more like crossover thrash, bands like Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front. This subgenre has since been posthumously renamed to "metallic metalcore" (seriously) in order to differentiate it from the melodic metalcore everyone now associates with the term. Same is with Gothenburg and melodeath, but that one is much less known.
