Metalcore

A mixture of hardcore punk and metal. Metalcore is short for metallic hardcore. There are 2 types of metalcore, regular metalcore and there's melodic metalcore. Some bands such as The Devil Wears Prada, The Number Twelve Looks Like You, and Underoath tend to be on the more 2000's screamo side, same thing goes with some of Bullet For My Valentine's stuff. Bands such as Hatebreed are just called hardcore. Although they do use elements of hardcore, they truly aren't. Bands like Minor Threat and Verbal abuse are true hardcore
