    When it comes to metalcore, you could split that into different decades and have a "big 4" for each one because of how diverse the sound can be, so it'd be difficult to just do "old school" versus "new school" and call it a day.

      It just depends on what they mean for “modern” and classic.
      Overall I’d probably have a list close to yours but it’d be KSE, ADTR, A7X and BMTH

A 4th pick is hard, could be Landmvrks, Beartooth, We Came As Romans. The first three picks i find innovating for the Metalcore genre but placing the last one is hard.

KSE released classic albums in 2001-2004. Atreyu in 2002-2004 and similar for the other two bands. Trivium's only classic metalcore album wasn't until 2005.

    Subgenres are kinda bullshit unless you are having a conversation about subgenres. And bands change their sound all the time, I didn't even know about the terms "metalcore, deathcore, mathcore, djent, cLoWN cOR3" until like 5 years ago, but I've been a Morbid Angel/CoF/Brutal Truth fan for over 20 years.
    There are certain subgenres which are kinda unmistakable like proper original black metal (Immortal, Emperor), death metal like Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel. Grindcore etc.
    When I first heard some of the newer deathcore bands they sounded like grindcore to me, just with cleaner/heavier production and some more tonal elements.

    dude Queensryche over Tool was a crime against nature for the Prog big 4. Mostly I think the vast majority of those lists were created by either casual fans or by fans of other genres who approached them as outsiders. You just know too much Metalcore and got in your own head lol. Sometimes simpler is better though I do agree that some of their band classifications were weird. Should have just done a singular Metalcore list and been done with it... that whole old and new was just confusing lol.

    • @DrSlobGoblin
      @DrSlobGoblin 2 года назад +7

      Queensryche over Tool makes sense if you look at the bands they mentioned as having a prog sound instead of prog song structures. Tool sounds like Tool. They're practically a one-band genre to the point that they'd be the first band any band would be compared to if they used certain combinations of sounds and time signatures.

    • @sarahbell180
      @sarahbell180 2 года назад +7

      Queensryche is one of the ogs that made prog metal a thing. Really, if you are going to take about big 4 of prog in the same sense as thrash, its going to be Queensryche, Fates Warning, Dream Theater and uh I guess we can have Tool now.

    The reason Tool wasn't on there is because the overlap between Tool fans and prog fans isn't really that big. Most Tool fans don't listen to other prog, because they found Tool through radio play. And a lot of prog fans think of Tool as prog lite.
    Queensryche is prog-metal, because they were considered metal when they came out.

    • @jdiejejerje661

    I had a similar experience you had with Metalcore, with Gothic Metal... My big four in that genre would have been Type o Negative, Paradise Lost (Hell, they invented the genre), Tiamat and The Gathering or Fields of the Nephilim. They only included Type o Negative, while non of the other bands they listed I would even consider as Gothic Metal. HIM I could accept, but Lacuna Coil are Alternative Metal with only a hint of Gothic Metal in their early works and Cradle of Filth are Symphonic (Black/Dark).
