What genre is this?

What genre would you categorise this as? I wrote this after getting home from seeing Thornhill last year. They're such an inspiring band, especially live. I love the rocky feel they have on their newer stuff despite playing in such low tunings, it's such a unique feel.
Guitar: Ibanez RGIXL7 into Neural DSP's Archetype: Gojira X
Bass: Submission Audio's UmanskyBass
Drums: RS Drums The Fairview kit

[@plusixty8992]

that would be metalcore

[@molotov-zz6rm]

2000s metalcore. sounds like old bmth or parkway drive

[@agame.productions]

It’s like if early Foo Fighters was baritone djent

[@itsMEADOWS]

Haha what a thought that is. I'd love to hear some old Foo Fighters re-done as baritone djent.

[@MikeAngelo7604]

It sounds amazing that’s what matters 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@itsMEADOWS]

Thanks, dude! Glad you dig it. 😊

[@ruinofspace]

Powerful 🔥🤘

[@itsMEADOWS]

Cheers!

[@snesmocha]

no clue but it's headbangy af

[@itsMEADOWS]

Haha cheers SNES!

[@snesmocha]

@@itsMEADOWS it's indeed very nice while listening to this at 1 in the morning while writing a project last minute 😄

[@itsMEADOWS]

​@@snesmocha Perfect. I suppose it's only fitting that my music scores a situation like that well given that I am a chronic procrastinator myself haha.

[@tonymont2335]

I love it! What tuning are you bro?

[@itsMEADOWS]

Thank you! This is in drop F#. 🙂

[@mickfretty8038]

That sounds cool af, love it!
🤟😎🤟

[@itsMEADOWS]

Cheers!

[@KyleErwin]

This is definitely post-dark pool Thornhill

[@itsMEADOWS]

That's exactly what I was going for!

[@kassxcii]

sounds like rock n roll to me thanks

[@itsMEADOWS]

Good answer. Thank you, Kass.

[@butdoesitchug]

Mad sounding tone bruv.

[@itsMEADOWS]

Thanks dude! Neural DSP putting in work!

[@GinraiMinor]

Play this at 1/2 speed after your first listen....dis' some unga' bunga' boogie' woogie'

[@itsMEADOWS]

Haha. Half speed definitely brings out the unga bunga yes

[@brilliantFlame]

The sweetest part of this (which would be the chorus/opening/outro) is definitely within the realm of Nu-Metal.
There’s a slight metalcorish taint, but it’s not prevailing.
The verse is again Nu-Metal (its rhythmic nature makes it that way, it’s also very close to groove metal, thanks to the bends and spatiality) but because of the 0-0-0-0 people would classify it as Djent, but both groove/djent are direct cousins of Heavy Metal.
"Limp Bizkit" / "Ocean Grove" / "P.O.D." / "Skindred" have the same energy in their songs (usually for chorus), but often their riffs are more "busy".
To sum it all up, I'd go with Nu-Metal/Heavy.
That aside the track is a bomb my dude.

[@itsMEADOWS]

Thank you!
Interesting thoughts! While I don't personally think it fits the nu-metal thing I can absolutely see how others would. And I definitely listened to a lot of POD growing up so it makes sense that their influence would sneak in somewhere, haha. Regardless, it's cool hearing everyone's different thoughts on the same song!

[@brilliantFlame]

@@itsMEADOWS hey man! Oh, I realize that you just tried to make people going for the discussion here. Author definitely knows best what he’s making.
The main thing’s that it sounds awesome 🤘🏻🎸

[@itsMEADOWS]

Yeah, the discussion is fun. There have definitely been some thoughts that I didn't expect haha. But yes, the main thing is that the music sounds good!

[@ember8001]

listen to this at 1.5x

[@GinraiMinor]

the 1/2 speed listen tho'...

[@itsMEADOWS]

Haha. Chipmunk metal

[@timothymckane6362]

That guitar looks cool.

[@itsMEADOWS]

Cheers! It's a great guitar.. I love the blacked out look with the reverse headstock. You instantly know what it does haha

[@chrisrichardson7004]

It's all djazz baby!

[@itsMEADOWS]

Always has been.

[@nerdyoutube7847]

metal. Clever I know
In all honesty though I’d love to have a descriptor for this bouncy kind of riff

[@ParanormalArson]

Nu-Metal/Groove Metal. A lot of people are saying Metalcore, but I don't hear that. Pretty catchy!

[@itsMEADOWS]

Yeah metalcore seems to be the most prevalent answer so far but I also don't think it falls into that category at all. Interesting to hear how everyone interprets the same thing so differently, though!

[@howhows529]

I can hear a shreddy prog solo in my head coming up over the top @ 1:08, so I'll say prog

[@unfunnymeme2570]

avant garde jazz

[@tobio1988]

The part starting at 0:50 sells it for me. :-)

[@itsMEADOWS]

Awesome! Glad you like it!

[@Gameboy-2007-yt]

Same, metalcore vibes

[@TheGeeJ]

I would say it's vegan activist core. Cool riffs!

[@user-ut1gs3zr8j]

Groovcore

[@godsinbox]

Gronk

[@gtaveteran]

Corey Taylor or Chino Moreno would go alright doing vocals on this

[@itsMEADOWS]

Man. Chino would go very hard on this

[@aaron_r6611]

A mixture of modern and mid 2000's metalcore

[@DanIvanson]

The style is very similar to Amatory - a band from Russia.

[@itsMEADOWS]

Oh interesting. I'll have to check them out!

[@tinkesakara9093]

the first riff reminded me of Slipknot

[@itsMEADOWS]

I can definitely hear that!

[@ioLaks]

Modern metal

[@Projecthifi2908]

Djenty metalcore is what I would've said

[@sherifffgreggg]

*insert tons of sub genre labels* jk I think it would be like Alt Metal/Modern Metal

[@itsMEADOWS]

Haha. Yeah I think that's a pretty succinct way of describing it

[@EhEsDeeEf]

genri-core

[@KoriTV]

I tried reporting this video, but they don’t have an option for whiplash. Settled for liking the video 3 times

[@itsMEADOWS]

Hahaha awesome. I appreciate that!

[@randomcultist398]

hm surely that must be something I have to add to my list of things I don't care about

[@ignacio-araya]

Sounds a little bit like slipknot without the heavy drums or syncopation

[@itsMEADOWS]

I can hear that!

[@Suremanblurking]

Holy shit what preset are you using on Gojira X?

[@itsMEADOWS]

It's quite literally the default patch haha. Sounds incredible without touching a thing!

[@tylerevans3168]

Yeah I'd say its metalcore

[@AlexVoinotGuitar]

Groovy! I'd say metalcore?

[@itsMEADOWS]

Could definitely fit under that banner!

[@sonofthesunlight5939]

Pop Metal or Grunge Metal !

[@georganatoly6646]

I hear J/K pop metal, anime theme song kind of vibe

[@D3nries]

EzCoreDjent

[@birtvuli]

bro try it in lower tuning

[@itsMEADOWS]

Bro it's already in drop F# what do you want from me 😭

[@liquidpear]

cooltown, population 1 (cool)

[@itsMEADOWS]

Thank you. Very cool.

[@kudtarkarsandroid2500]

It’s djaack djack tadack tadack
Why are humans now obsessed with labeling everything? Because it makes us feel like we know something

[@AutisticManLiftsWeights]

THORNHILL MENTIONED
HORNY 4 THORNY

[@itsMEADOWS]

Hahahahaha

[@cestusfr]

What genre is this? The good kind.

[@itsMEADOWS]

Haha. Good to know. Cheers!

[@nathancourtney94]

Metalcore or Nu-Metalcore. These genre's are pretty contrived though.
Bring me the Horizon Suicide Season and the following album has this style. They were the first to use it IIRC. They influenced pop punk and "emo" bands of the time like A Day to Remember and Of Mice and Men.
The sound is characterized by drop tuning with a lot of octaves on the top string. That 12th fret at like 0:55 seconds is the most recognizable riff of this style. It's cool but I think it's novel and got overplayed in the early 2010's. Not saying it's an invalid style but it's kind of lazy in comparison to other music... rhetoric? I guess
