Mathcore

One other thing - Mathcore is its own thing, maybe its a metalcore subgenre, maybe, but its different, but to mention that it is also called "noisecore" is terrible. (noiscore is a fine genre, hear me out) The names of the two genres imply that they are essentially polar opposites. Math Metal, and therefore Mathcore are "mathy", they are really technical and there is little or no "noise". Noisecore is noisy, its a term that is commonly missused by someone whos ear is not attuned to what they are listening to. Noisecore bands (from what I know) are not taht common and really just sound liek noise with some screaming overtop. There is no metal and barely any hardcore involved, I think its just kinda an indierock subgenre that often borders on electronic music. The closest thing to a metalcore/noisecore crossover is ( I think) The Locust. Some will disagree, thats fine, I dont even like the Locust.

That said here is a working list, add subtract, justify, most importantly, JUSTIFY. don't just delete a band and add the Blood Brothers cause you think it should be that way. Lets all try to do this with an open mind and remember that this genre is fairly obscure in the grand scheme of things and our definitions are going to be different based on geographical differences more than anything else. So I grew up outside Philly and now live in Upstate NY, this is how I see it
