personally, i try not to be so picky with genre-labeling. hardcore and metal, to me, they're both so interchangeable these days, there's not much difference; hardcore bands have metal influences, metal bands have hardcore influence....the boundaries are so rediculously small nowadays, it's pretty much impossible to label a group accurately.

as far as death/black/speed/thrash is concerened....they're all one and the same to me. death metal is dark music, so why not call it black metal too? black metal bands sing about death, why aren't they death metal? both styles are fast, but are not labeled speed metal, and kids thrash in death and black metal mosh pits but both are not labeled thrash.....its all very confusing, to me, either name would apply.

concerning the wide variety of "core" genres(grindcore, death core, speed core, rap core, thrash core, mall core, metal core, etc..) to me, if the suffix "core" is in it, it's a hardcore band. there's more than one way to play hardcore music.

all these stupid genre names are dumb. to me, you're either metal or you're hardcore, pick one, they're the same. it's like that Anal Cunt song "face it, you're a metal band": if you play heavy, extreme music, you're metal; all that matters is whether or not you suck(and chances are pretty good that you suck, so don't even worry about it)
