What's the problem if emo kids or hardcore guys like those, really?

Nice article, I enjoyed it. Ion Dissonance are mental wicked.

If preferring... normal time signatures makes me wimpy and uncool, then it's good to know that I haven't changed at all.

I don't find any fun in this article, either. It's annoying to read. Had only the first paragraph been written like then it would have gained power, credibility and even fun factor. But now it's a joke that starts of strong but becomes weak because it drags on.

Not a huge fan of the music, but loved the article. found the continued "forcing" of the joke (or in my opinion, simply 'not breaking character') to be hilarious.

OMFG, I just spent like 20 minutes typing an epic response to defend deathcore here and accidentally hit a link which took me to another page wiping away everything i had written, but basically... there are a bunch of pretentious older metalheads that don't like deathcore because they are just that... older. Young bands, young fans, they don't want to be associated with it. Who cares. metal is about fun as much as it is about being serious too. Get off your high horse. Younger guys that don't like deathcore is because they are pretentious and think they are too good for it because it would not be troo and kvlt to like deathcore. "What will happen to my reputation if my metalhead friends see a Born of Osiris album amongst my Opeth, Darkthrone and Arcturus albums?" Who cares, listen to it and be an individual.

I'm not saying it's bad to not like deathcore or certain genres of metal because the music truly doesn't do a darn thing for you. I'm just saying, be an individual and just don't hate deathcore because that's the trendy troo thing to do. Don't hate it because your friends won't listen to it. Don't hate it because of some Internet chatroom bashing. As far as I'm concerned there are plenty of Iron Maiden songs that sound more pussy than those videos Thryce has placed in his article. It's all in the eye of the beholder. And yes I rock some cheesy Maiden songs along with deathcore as I cruise the streets.

Well, that was longer than I meant to type. But oh well. Metalheads are just a silly bunch of folk. It would be nice if they would remember what it was like to be young and into metal for the first time though. I think a lot of these kids that like deathcore are experiencing that. And when they are 40, like some of you are nearing, maybe they will enjoy the same underground, kvlt, limited release neon vinyl loving bands you do and will stand in the back of the venue with the same dingy 20-year-old jacket on drinking an expensive ale critiquing the younger audience members for being young. Peace.

I would argue that as progressive as Yes was, they would only move from one 4/4 to another, or a 4/4 to a 6/8 and back. Even the few times they used something like 7/8 or 7/4 was listenable (Lightning Strikes is awesome!). This Djent stuff where they lay a 7/8 guitar riff over a 4/4 drum track just messes with my head. The closest Yes ever came to anything like that was Perpetual Change and even then that lines up nicely if you're paying attention.

I've always had a hard time with jarring time signature changes, like 4/4 for three measures, then 5/4 for two, then 4/4 for two, then 7/4 for a few more. Yes never did anything like that; they were much more straight forward.

I understand what you are saying, they kept the changes bearable to the more common listener. I don't suppose you are a King Crimson fan?

For me, the time signatures mean squat unless the song can actually convey some energy or emotion, so I have no preference (whether it be 4/4 or 13,000/16).

I should also mention that this article reinforces my idea that Thryce is nothing more than a trendhopper who only listens to whatever bands are 'cool' and stops listening to them as soon as they stop being relevant, whatever the hell relevant means in relation to music. Is relavent just a term to describe what the k00l kidz are listening to?

This is definitely way more anti-elitism than it is pro-trendhopping.

I didn't know that disliking deathcore automatically made somebody elitist. If so, then I am proud to be an elitist.

If you really want anyone to give it a chance, change the writing style to accommodate the target audience.

This is pretty much what he was feeling like doing: All those who already know and like some deathcore bands will laugh at the way-to-long language joke and then check the recommendations out. Those who hate the genre will just start making the same done-to-death jokes about the genre which will amuse the first group I already wrote about.

Those who don't hate/like the genre and don't know anything about it (do this people actually exist?) will just have a huge "wtf" expression which is also amusing for the first group.

I think he nailed it, considering the comments by users.
