Metalcore is downright my favorite genre. My favorite bands include: All That Remains, Trivium, Atreyu, Shadows Fall, God Forbid, and Unearth. Anyone else big fans of Metalcore?
I like it because I like the heavy guitars and the mix of screaming...makes the emotion stronger. And alot of the lyrics arent how bad life is and stuffs, it more like real problems. I like it, it make me happy :)

Trivium
All That Remains
Killswitch Engage
Divine Heresy
Arch Enemy
Underoath
Shadows Fall
DevilDriver
Machine Head
Darkest Hour
Haste The Day
As Blood Runs Black
Suicide Silence
Bullet For My Valentine

Just to name a few, I'm sure Kiko can give you more amazing metalcore bands to check out. but yes, Metalcore is killer stuff and I have TONS of respect for all of these bands

Metalcore is pretty much a watered down, generic version of metal pre-packaged and marketed to teens who shop at Hot Topic, which is why it's referred to as "mallcore" by many metal fans. Most people either grow out of it or use it as a stepping stone to discover real metal.

I'm sorry but I like it and I DO NOT care what others have to say about it. If you don't like it, thats fine. I've seen Trivium, God Forbid, Bullet for my Valentine, Killswitch Engage and All That Remains live...I have to say Trivim and God Forbid were prolly the best :P

I pretty much agree with this; didn't post before because I figured I'd just stay out of it. Mainly the 'growing out of it' thing. You don't see too many adults who listen to it substantially. They exist, yes, but they're quite rare. It's definitely a preteen/teen sort of thing.

If you like it, that's your business. I'm not one to criticize anyone's musical tastes. It's definitely not my thing for the most part, though, and before anyone says I haven't looked into the genre at all, my brother is obsessed with it, so trust me, I've been exposed to it on high.

Last one is spelled Chimaira FYI. As far as your list, I like some of these (Trivium, Devildriver, Machine Head, Chimaira) HATE a few (Suicide Silence, Slipknot, Caliban) and the rest are just ok.

I also agree with RB. It is one of the genres of music that you can eventually grow out of. I have somewhat...kinda
