Spent my formative years in the punk/alt scene. So it was always frowned upon to venture outside of those genres. Then in my 20s I started allowing myself to enjoy all genres. Haven't looked(listened?) back since!
Same, except it was the local trve metal scene instead of punk. "If it ends in -core, I don't like" was a common thing to say, and anything pop/rap/hip-hop wasn't considered to be music at all. Even bigger metal acts, like Metallica, weren't popular because they had "sold out." The NWOBHM was all I lived for in the early 2010s.
got really tired of the "-core" haters, they seem to get upset only at the naming convention because hardcore influences often make a subgenre even heavier
like have you ever heard of mathcore?? that shits peak, its one of the noisiest subgenres i know AND it has hardcore influence
gatekeepers can stay mad
It took me a while, but when I started getting into death metal, that's what paved the road to hardcore genres for me. And I'm so glad that happened because I would've missed out on so much great music, so many fun nights in the pit, and some really cool shows with, like, thirty people there.
