codeine king is very much not rooted in any metal, as a band from the sludgewave era of metalcore/hardcore its a sound rooted in hardcore, codeine king is not metal

vctms is a metalcore band

jfac is a deathcore band, esp during the doom ep era

deathcore being a combination of death metal and metalcore

actually, none of the bands you linked are metal

No one has cared about that TRVE nonsense in almost two decades, gatekeeping genres is trite.

[hi5eyes]

ight bet

that doesnt invalidate the fact that metalcore isn't metal, since it's rooted in punk hence, metal core

[throwaway5d097]

metal isn't metal, since it's rooted in punk. FACT

Extreme metal rooted from Discharge. Sounds close enough anyway. Crossover thrash isn't metal because it has punk on it, too?

Regardless, this is just pedantry.

[electricslpnsld]

Funny enough you mention Discharge... most contemporary DM bands dress (and have a few songs) that sounds like crust bands ~1982

Correcting genre labels is hardly gatekeeping.

Yeah, that's totally closer to punk than metal...

you do realize taim is deathcore right? if you're confused you can google the bands name and look at the genres they're classified as and then read about how genres work... v simple but i could help if you want

[mzybert]

Why, yes I do. I've shared a stage with them. You're the one trying to tell people that *core is not metal.

[hi5eyes]

if you still need help figuring out what is and isnt metal simply google search the band or plug it into metal archives

its 2019 i hope hn users are capable of this
