I think "progcore" is a pretty cool name, but you're right that it might not fully capture the metal aspect of the genre you're trying to describe. Maybe "progmeth" (short for "progressive metal punk") could work? It's a little clunky, but it does get the point across.

I watch MLP with my niece and nephew, so I don't get offended. It matters very little to me, but I'll mention it just in case.
With that said, there are progressive hardcore punk bands with little to no metal out there, and I've heard a couple albums in that vain. So, I wanna leave them out. Progressive punk is easier to find in a metal format, anyway. Writing all this while listening to chamber jazz. |

^ indeed, but I think they wanted to exclude non-metal hardcore?

If most of the examples LightningRider's thinking of are usually described as some flavour of 'core, why not just go with "progcore"?

Oh, I know Swans, buddy. Believe me. Swans had a huge say in my growth as a music junkie. I admit I'm not into the no wave stuff as much as I thought I would be, but SftB, The Seer and White Light are just flawless IMO. |

If you're into Neurosis you should check out Swans. |

Not sure if it's what you'd be looking for but Intronaut could be a shout. Their album Prehistoricisms mixes the powerful sounds of atmospheric sludge with prog structures and jazzy post rock influences.
If Mastodon fit the bill, you could consider Bison and Baroness. The former are similar to early Mastodon albeit less intricate although they have the same punkish aggression. Baroness have less outright Aggression but definitely still a proggish touch. |

Neurosis and Mastodon are two of my favorites. I'd like to see your other recommendations.
Prog hardcore metal, huh? Well, it rings better that metallic progcore. |

I guess that progressive metallic hardcore or prog hardcore metal are as close as we’ll get. In terms of inclusions I don’t think you can exclude mathcore, which is more than just technical for me. Sludge is hardcore influenced by doom (was sometimes called doomcore in the early days) so bands like Neurosis and early Mastodon would be in there (I can give you names of plenty of very punky sludge bands if that helps). Can’t think of too many prog crossover bands off the top of my head but there’s probably a pile of them.

Those
are good examples, too. Mathcore may or may not get in. It really
depends, like the difference between tech death metal and prog death
metal. It's a REALLY fine line. Whatever helps you think of a good
name is perfectly cool with me.

This is the first band I thought of when you mentioned this: I remember when I first heard them, and being blown away by the variety of stuff they were playing. I found a bit hard to listen to, but it was impressive nonetheless. Mathcore is probably closest to what you're looking for here I'd think. Dillinger Escape Plan And a couple of others: The Locust See You Next Tuesday This the sort of stuff you thinking about?

" You don't have to agree with me, I don't have to agree with you." - The only thing you stated that I agree to. I don't need to go to wikipedia for genre definitions. For the genres mentioned here I do not need to, I have lsitened to metalcore, progressive metalcore, even deathcore (which I do not like) just to see what's it all about. Wikipedia is not even the good resource for genre definitions, but that's a different story. How can any kind of conversation can be had when we don't agree on what genres are, like I said - common knowledge. I never come up with genres names, it will only confuse people. So a term like "progressive metal-punk makes little sense, especially since it's an oxymoron. Two genres impossible to join together. I've heard plenty of progressive metal, extreme progressive metal (progressive death, progressive black, technical thrash), but I don't see how progressive metal could ever be mixed with punk. That is why I asked for examples and I got metalcore, progressive metalcore, math-metal/mathcore as answer. And you get upset I do not understand what is happening in this thread? I did not come to argue, but i guess things got out of hand. I'm only trying to express an opinion, I am not attacking you.

A: Your behavior is practically demanding that I believe it doesn't exist. There is clear anger in your posts, so don't deny it. B: I made it clear that I didn't expect the genre term to kick off, obviously because I know I can't control people. It's one list. It's not the Ten Commandments. There's no objectivity, it's just for fun. There's plenty of sense in that which, if you calmed down, you'd be able to see. In fact, it's so obvious that it indicates the possibility that you're simply not understanding the posts yourself, which is your own fault. It's not proof, but it is cause for suspicion. C-E: This goes back to your attitude. You think I like having my opinions called "nonsense?" That's the kind of thing one says when there annoyed. It's MUSIC. There are people all over the internet who agree and disagree and you don't see me calling it nonsense and you never will. It's rude. This thread is not for debating the existence of the genre, and once again I don't need you to agree (which goes back to how you're wrong when you say I'm including objectivity in point B). I created this thread expecting a debate on the genre's existence to happen. But you're one guy that I barely know. You don't have to agree with me, I don't have to agree with you. F: You didn't want sense. You came here to argue. If I'm wrong about that and you really do want a better description of metalcore, go to Wikipedia. AND ONE MORE THING: I'm barely getting one new post a day. I didn't start this thread for a big distraction. You're a member of the community too, so you should think about this, and with everyone stuck at home because of the pandemic, sometimes the forums are our way of communication with the outside world. You are fully capable of understanding all of this, and it's a shame that you don't realize that I want a question answered and that it's more important than whether or not the genre exists. I was nice enough to answer your question anyway, and you just said "there's nothing punk about them" as if you could deicde that. If you had said, "I don't see anything punk about them" and answered with an option for a title or two, that would be different.

Subjective?! I only explained what a couple of music genres mean, which should be common knowledge. You talk about objectivity and then come up with your own genre name. That makes a lot of sense. My attitude?! Didn't you just tell me I was wasting your time?! Childish insults? What childish insults?! Whining? How? I was just trying to make sense of this thread and seeing there isn't one, I'll leave you be...

This is all subjective and it's always been subjective. This list is not for you, and it would be the artists' decision if it was objective, not yours. I will continue to believe it's not nonsense and you'll just have to be an adult and deal with it. I don't care if you don't believe it exists (which, considering how many genres there are, is impossible foe me to believe), but your attitude is another story. This list isn't for you. I barely know you, and I have friends who like the same music I do whether or not you "approve." I will continue with the list. Your childish insults and demanding "objective" behavior are all your whining is currently good for on this thread. My thread, my list, my rules. If you don't like it, leave.

excuse me for wasting your time, please carry on with your nonsense. There is no such thing as progressive metal punk. I think it's an oxymoron, if there ever was one. Deathcore and metalcore have nothing to do with punk. Early metalcore for example was a mix of metal (thrash, groove and hardcore). Deathcore mixed initially death metal and hardcore. Sludge was mentioned earlier, again nothing to do with punk. Yeah, I won't be wasting your time anymore... |
