[@HeavyReign12]

@Jacob Smith then why are you here man? I don't understand people like you. Is this not art? Trend is an arbitrary word. It literally means a general direction in which something is changing. That's what art does. This is the best "trend" deathcore has ever had, it's been a dying genre for awhile that was very formulaic. Bands like this and Lorna Shore made it interesting again, and my personal favorite Humanity's Last Breath. Deathcore is on a new trend, and that is a good thing.

[@HeavyReign12]

@Jacob Smith Can you not read? I'm saying they exist in some sort of overlap, where it isn't exactly deathcore but they do have breakdowns. So they are incorporating -core elements. Must be hard being this stupid. You completely ignored me on what trends even are, must be too academic a topic for you...
