As Wikipedia now has a pages on these subgenres they should be added to the subgenre page as derivatives of metalcore — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.21.58 (talk) 18:32, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-08-13T18:32:00.000Z","author":"78.144.21.58","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-78.144.21.58-2017-08-13T18:32:00.000Z-Add_nu_Metalcore_and_progressive_Metalcore","replies":[]}}-->

Nu metalcore can’t be added; it links to a section in the Nu Metal article. However, progressive metalcore does have its own Wikipedia article, so I might consider adding it to this list.

"Traditional heavy metal"???

__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-\"Traditional_heavy_metal\"???","replies":[]}}-->

To refer to the origin bands like Sabbath / Zep / Deep Purple etc. etc. as "traditional" sets a bad historical revisionist precedent. All these origin bands are different from each other as is, and at present (2019) the term "traditional metal" is not in common use at all. Can we avoid historical revisionism infecting metal? Most refer to the original bands as "classic" metal. Maybe "foundational" makes more sense, but even that's a stretch, as the foundations don't cleanly begin with the mid-to-late 1960s hard blues.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Heavy metal genres's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.

When reading through this page I noticed it stated that metalcore is a genre consisting of hardcore and heavy metal. In my opinion this is wrong, metalcore is a fusion genre consisting of hardcore and extreme metal. That is a big difference. Thrash is a amalgamation of hardcore and heavy metal, metalcore simply isn’t. There are a lot of elements of extreme metal present in metalcore.

I would like the correct information to be written here. JinxTheFluffyFox (talk) 18:25, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240628182500","author":"JinxTheFluffyFox","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-JinxTheFluffyFox-20240628182500-Metalcore","replies":[]}}-->
