"Bring Me The Horizon are TRENDHOPPERS"

[@OffLeatherWings]

It’s amazing how BMTH are still relevant with this generation and feel like they’re part of the new crop of Metalcore bands. They were part of the MySpace scenecore scene with bands like Suicide Silence, The Devil Wears Prada, Attack Attack, Asking Alexandria They were part of that second wave of popular scene bands more akin with Tumblr in the mid 2010s like Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Of Mice & Men They were doing the Octane-core thing before bands like I Prevail, Architects, and Wage War jumped on that Now they feel just as relevant with the current generation of Metalcore bands like Spiritbox, Bad Omens, and Sleep Token

ye but I think that bmth have gradualy become less unique in their sound ever sinse "thats the spirit" in 2015 I find myself I listening to their music from 2004 - 2013 (which i prefer so this might b a bit biast) I find that they sound alot like other bands and groups that are more popular sinse around 2015. And especialy living in the uk i never meet people who talk about anything recent in their disgografy. I find that theirs more individuality with their older stuff. For example Listening to count your blessings theirs a noticible difference compaid to other deathcore bands. And even with Metalcore for example su151de season sounds very different to the stuff asking alexandria and other metalcore bands where coming out with

Fred Durst completely owned the stage at Woodstock, but during the buildup before the huge release moment in Break Stuff he sounds like a Cody raging at his mom for getting him Crash Team Racing instead of Crash Bandicoot Warped.

[@VYRAM95]

BMTH is one of the few “heavy” music projects that has been able to adapt to the current market in an optimal way without leaving aside the Metalcore essence that showed them to the world, because when they played Deathcore they were not accessible to everyone, it was very abrasive music. The current work is very good, a very well worked sound and combined to perfection with other musical aspects.

[@Oryyyt]

Recent works tries really hard to appeal to edgy goth kids who aspires to be vampires imo. lol It's not that bad but i feel like it's kinda try hard to stay relevant to a certain demographic. Kinda works for them either way so..

[@thomashoban2430]

Metal and hardcore bands don't get many spots at Coachella and festivals like that. So the metal and hardcore bands that do play festivals like that such as Knocked Loose, Lorna Shore, etc. have much more mainstream recognition than bands that don't. No one claims they're Bad Bunny, but they are claiming they have a lot more recognition than other metal and hardcore bands.

[@lewisb85]

I remember seeing them when they supported 18v and they had that death metal/fashioncore sound, Then Olly sykes started doing a frank carter impression because gallows were big. So fashioncore- copying 18v more hardcore- copying when gallows, dead swans that whole brighton punk thing was big, I'd tend to disagree they do jump on other peoples bandwagon. Fortunately back in the day they had julie weir helping them out who ran a label but was also a music journalist so she very much had the finger on the pulse of the developing trends, check any of her interviews on youtube look at the bands she worked with bmth, bfmv and umm the one that messed up hard.

Re: record label gatekeepers and 60K a day on Spotify - There are new gatekeepers now, too. That's how anyone rises above the noise. The new gatekeepers are also riding the ability to publish their thoughts/opinions and find an audience as a reviewer or music journalist (always IMO more influential than record label promotion, what the labels used to control was access to recording technology) or what have you without needing to be platformed by legacy media. They are people like Fantano and, dare I say, you.

[@jameydunne3920]

Music isn't the only media that is oversaturated currently. I think all media is oversaturated- music, books, movies, TV shows, podcasts, etc. Better tech and easier access has allowed a large percentage of bad and undercooked media to reach the mass audience in a way never seen before. I think a new better definition of good or some threshold for gatekeeping may actually be good or even great for media overall. My wife's college literature professor had a generally profound thing he said that she loves to repeat- "Everyone has a book in them. Not everyone's needs to be written."

[@ryanrowe1975]

Fred Durst is the best musician of playing with a lot of festivals and Bad Bunny too

[@Pippus4]

Maybe the only trend they hop on is that period were everyone were collaborating with Mick Gordon, but even this is like reeeally streching it. In the end their biggest strength is to look at trends outside of metal and go like 'that's cool, let's make this but in our way'

I strongly believe this band will continue to stay relevant until they are ready to officially call it quits. I cannot think of another band that has successfully stayed relevant and attractive to each upcoming generation of "core" fans since their inception almost 20 years ago at this point. A Day to Remember is the only other band I can think of that has done as well but BMTH always go one step further each record cycle raising the bar and setting the next trend.

[@ryancaldwellracing]

I definitely don't think it was better when less people were able to record and release music. Sure, there was just less music overall, and the floor of quality was better. But there are also truly good artists who have access to the tools they need to make and release their music without needing industry backing. To me it's worth having to sort through mediocre if you are able to find people making great music. People who might not have had the chance to because they didn't have the right connections, or they legitimately don't have the money to book a studio to record those first demos.

[@TrueMichigander]

There's a reason Bring Me has become one of the biggest metal acts in the world, without having all the mainstream media push them like thrash or nu-metal was pushed. They are just that good and interesting. Even if you don't love metalcore, they will get your attention and put out something everyone will enjoy.

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the undisputed kings of "hey this is Deftones / generic hyperpop / whatever the fuck we decided to shamelssly copy this time...
