If it's heavy, passionate and intense it's metal. Being -core doesn't make it not metal, it makes it a sub genre you close minded elitist piece of trash. Real metal heads don't need forgeters like you around making us look just as close minded and judgmental as prep douche bags. Metal's about passion, not fashion. I don't care if you want to make popreggaetechnorapcore power metal, as long as you keep the spirit of metal inside you I feel no need to ostracize.
