I mean, I'll be the first to throw myself in the line of fire and say I like the things I like and try and work all those influences into what I create as a performer, as a musician, and as an artist. I know some bands that would freak out over breakdowns because they wanted to be as metal as possible, but that line of reasoning blocks out so many great things. I dunnow, I hate overly kung fu kicking shows and stuff, but then again sometimes I like that...just not when it's dick and stupid and all kung fu all the time. I like to be open to new stuff... I agree 100% with Joe when he says it makes it easier to define bands by genre and move product. It's been fucking tough saying we're just "music", but then when we say we're "grind" it makes people not understand our clean, melodic stuff and when we say we're "clean, melodic stuff" people are like "Uh...no...you have tech parts and growl vocals and blast beats". Then we say we're a metal band and people are like "Oh satan and long hair and blah blah" so we say ok how bout we're a hardcore band? and then people that like metal automatically don't want to give you a chance cause they think you're kung-fu-stuff but anyone that's heard us knows we're not. I started thinking about this topic cause a band said they were tech metal and then I heard them and they were what I perceived as metal-core. It's all so mind boggling.
