>>85629068Grindcore is not fucking metal bro.
Allow me to explain to you the only similarities with metal that grindcore has
To the average person...it sounds like nothing but noise and screaming, that's it.
Of course over time, and in the modern era, both have influenced one another with bands crossing over and blending and so on and so forth in any number of different ways
But Grind comes from hardcore punk being played even harder and faster, they didn't get any influence from fucking Priest or Maiden down the evolutionary line, it's not metal
Death metal was the next evolutionary step of making thrash metal darker and more extreme, which comes from the lineage of heavy metal, not punk
Loudness and chaos aside, they are not of the same birth
>>85629266Punk is fucking dead bro, it has been for a long long time. The biggest "punk" festivals are full of punk kids emulating metal because METAL never died
Punk is dead, you may have your handful of bands sticking it out and playing fucking dive bars but it's dead and irrelevant as a scene, it's been replaced by scenecore, metalcore, deathcore, emo, screamo, whatever the fuck
