I didn't say you had no taste in music... so theres no need to put words in my mouth. Nor did I say that metal = incomprehensible growling/screaming.

Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold are just not considered metal.

Metalcore is basically the 'emo' equivalent of metal.

Sorry, wasn't really directing that at you per se, but like you said, metalcore (whatever the hell that is, I took it to mean the more melodically driven type music, as opposed to the beat-you-over-the-head riffing type) is 'frowned upon', in other words in a lot of people's eyes sucks compared to whatever they listen to.

This one I just found funny, because on the one hand it isn't metal, yet it has the word metal right in the category title

Like I said, I just really make no distinction, and will listen to all of it depending on my mood. It just happens that more often than not I end up listening to the A7X and Atreyu type.
