[@SuperWardBros]

as a huge nintendocore fan, I'm happy to report that the genre is still fully alive and doing well, the genre has been on kind of an underground revival status since around 2016 due to compilation label nintendocore lives releasing notable albums in the scene, appearances at events like magfest and bit gen gamer fest and the semi-popularity of artists like blind equation as well as horse the band's return to touring. the genre is largely rooted in myspace culture and has relations to scene culture and cybergrind due to the similar music. the 8-bit big band and button masher winning a grammy and a nomination may influence a revival in popularity in chiptune as well as related genres like nintendocore but the genre peaked in popularity in the 2000s on myspace.

[@jiryutique12323]

okay, as a skacore fanatic, you are talking about 3 kind of ska genre at the same time (ska-core, crack rock steady and lets pretend ska metal is a thing). It is a confusing scene, so it is normal.

[@VIIZZZYY]

WHAT ska is such a beast of a genre hahaha, ive seen "ska-core" around, whats the difference from ska-core/ska-metal/ska-punk?

[@enderbugg]

@@VIIZZZYY ska-punk fuses ska with (mainly) the 90's epitaph/fat wreck skate punk/pop punk stuff, ska-core fuses it with hardcore

[@felipehenricoomaiorfadevid2715]

Ska metal is not a real genre. When a song mixes elements of metal or hardcore punk with ska it is classified as skacore. Crack Rock Steady was a genre created by the band Choking Victims, which is a ska with strange vocals, without wind instruments and with guitars with a heavy overdrive. Ska Punk is the combination of punk and ska.@@VIIZZZYY

[@smurxxx0910]

Leftover Crack has elements of ska and black metal also.

[@ParallaxSound315]

17:35 as someone who was big into the Nintendocore scene in the early to mid 2010s, this is super accurate. There were a lot of friendships and crossovers between the two, and we all frequented a lot of the same groups, it was basically one big community. Cory from ZOMBIESHARK!, actually did the cover art for a lot of the Nintendocore Lives compilation albums (if not all of them) I fell out of the scene myself a few years ago unfortunately, I just got too busy with my more serious bands, but I've been wanting to get back into the scene, as I know there's still a bunch of dudes doing some great stuff. I know about yearly the community tries to put together at least one compilation album with a lot of the active NxC artists, the last one to come out was this last summer, Co-Op Time on the NCORE Collective bandcamp page, with the last one I was a part of being NCORE Goes: Anime

[@FunkyJunkyFangz]

the thumbnail and title led me to believe this was going to be a very mean-spirited video, but i was really happy to find out that it wasn't at all. i really enjoyed how genuine you are about these genres! even going as far as talking to someone from the skametal scene was really neat to me. i love it! fishbone really needs more credit as a skametal band. the album "give a monkey a brain and he'll swear he's the center of the universe" is incredible at* putting ska and metal together. great video!

[@Angellic_Official]

Loved the video! For epic black metal, the most popular band I know as of now is 1914, with about 30k monthly listeners rn.

[@VIIZZZYY]

[@emulord3453]

Seeing fallingwithscissors mentioned is so sick, I saw them play in a coffee shop last year and it was insane, Blind Equation also played that show and they're a must listen for modern nintendocore/cybergrind.

[@nickolaseaton4890]

It’s funny how HORSE the band coined the term, but then afterwards realized they didn’t wanna actually use that to define them. I’d say another big Nintendocore artist was iamerror. I remember bumping “Trout Yogurt” back in middle school. Also his album “Grand Battle” was the magnum opus of the time.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones first phase begs to differ. They were sort of a Ska Metal band and they were brilliant

[@rabiesfox]

Actually pretty cool that cybergrind was mentioned in this video, a lot of things to mention is that the scene isn't necessarily pretty dead(in fact there is still some people still producing the genre, it's just really obscure compared to other electronicore bands/nintendcore and more mainstream stuff, I usually got into cybergrind from my own influences of electronic music and grindcore in general. And there is surprisingly a lot of different styles overall, with fallinginscissors often having breakcore elements sometimes, and bubblegum octopus often having influences from chiptune and 8-bit music. Then there is also some bands that choose to implement elements of goregrind, and sometimes gorenoise into them(I don't listen to a lot of them so I am not sure what to put here in terms of bands and artist) Anyway this is a pretty cool video so far, and goes in depth into a lot of the genres here, nice job lol.

[@aaronmartin7086]

I like experiencing with different music genres. Like Chelsea grin, The monkees, Less than jake, and Blue October.

[@patmccrotch5373]

This all feels so convoluted and pretentious in an effort for people to try to feel more exclusive, and to force other people into unwanted conversations about the other person's favorite bands and to strong arm them into asking questions like.. " indie post punk neo alternative nu metal ska wave math prog rock..?!? What's that?!?" Meanwhile you stand there while other person explains for 5 minutes that it's just 311.

[@franciscogomez465]

I'm not into straight up Black Metal but the subgenres are dope. DSBM, Blackgaze, Blackened Death Metal and Deathcore. Harakiri For The Sky is a great Blackgaze band. Nocturnal Depression for DSBM.

[@VIIZZZYY]

i did a video on DSBM and while researching the genre, it made me never wanna touch it again hahaha very spooky stuff

[@Big_Dakka-Dakka_Boiz]

Another decent Black Metal band is Liturgy, along with Deafhaven.

[@patmccrotch5373]

The Clash was the first band to blend ska, reggae, and punk not op ivy, no doubt, or sublime. Ska kicked ass before the clash got ahold of it... the clash just made it so white kids could listen to it and feel ok about it. Just listen to it, if it's good, it'll remain good and become classic, regardless of how much you try to pigeon hole it.

Nechochwen is an epic black metal band from West virginia. Their songs follow the themes of local indigenous peoples epic stuff.

[@andiety2074]

I absolutely recommend SiM if you want to listen to ska metal / ska punk. They identify as Reggaepunk but they definitely incorporate heavy metal elements into a lot of their newer stuff. I've been following them since 2016 when they released Killing Me, and they blew up when they signed to Pony Canyon, and they got to make an anime opening for Attack On Titan.

[@MattTobias-ee8tf]

Hi Metal musician and enthusiast here, sure we might stream from. Spotify but we also use Bandcamp , KZbin etc etc etc

[@TheeUnderBrake]

Some accessable black metal i'd recommend in order of accessability: Deafheaven - Sunbather Gaerea - Coma Wovles In The Throne Room - Crypt of Ascestral Knowledge (EP) Necrophobic - Mark of The Necrogram 1349 - The Wolf and The King Dark Funeral - Where Shadows Forever Reign.

[@VIIZZZYY]

i actually have to save this list, ill let you know what i think!

[@TheeUnderBrake]

@@VIIZZZYY take black metal away, Gaerea’s Coma is one of the best albums to come out this year, highly recommended

[@thehandsanitizersmuggler]

10:51 Enslaved is easy to get into and has high production and cleans, Blackbraid is pretty easy to listen to, and ungfell is very melodic compared to most black metal. I would just recommend the sub-genre of blackgaze and post-black metal, a couple bands include Ghost Bath, and Suicide Forrest. If you want to listen to the more traditional black metal Ensomhet is a great underground French one man project lead by a fifteen year old.

[@Kenshiro_Miyazawa03]

All I recommend is the Blazebirth Hall bands: Ravendark, Rundagor, and the all mighty Branikald.

We called it Skacore and it was the sickest era. in the mid 2000's there was a huge skacore scene. check out The Flaming Tsunamis. Heavy as fuck, with horns.

[@agsicodpslahavwshxausudusi7327]

My fav black metal bands: Emperor, Mayhem, Burzum, Bathory, Këkht Aräkh (solo band project from Ukraine, it has more melancholic and melodic vibes), Drudkh (from Ukraine again and it’s atmospheric BM), Windir - mix of symphonic, epic and folk black metal, Xasthur (DSBM), Spectral Wound (melodic BM from Canada) and greek melodic/gothic metal band Rotring Christ, blackgaze (mix of shoegaze and BM) - Møl

[@enderbugg]

"ska-metal" is still sort of a thing, but it's not really metal. most of the bands coming up in in the scene are taking ska and fusing it with grindcore and powerviolence (we call it anti-ska or grindska or just crack rock steady bc it's kind of an offshoot of the og crs). biggest pusher of the scene is no time records here in socal. corrupt vision is probably the best band doing it right now but you gotta check out bad fix, lo-cash ninjas, sibannic, audio poison, escape from the zoo, and crk666

[@phise1]

Bands like leftover crack are just crust punk with purposefully shitty ska over it, something like voodoo glow skulls or mr bungle were the real pioneers of the original skacore sound. But then you have to remember bands from Mexico, Spain, Germany were also doing there own version of what you can call ska metal for example le scrawl is very much a jazz/black metal/ska band that's been around for a long time.

Interesting that Ska is the only genre where its punk fusion is more popular than the metal fusion :D

[@VIIZZZYY]

its definitely more digestible for the average listener so i understand, i just wish ska metal got a little bit more love

[@laurisaarinen1126]

That's probably because ska and punk have much more in common already. Their chord progressions, tempo and energy match so well, which is why ska punk has been a noticeable part of punk almost since the genre started. There's always been overlap between punk and jamaican music also partly because lot of jamaicans immigrated to Britain in the early 80s and they have shared lot of the same core values and messages like anti-capitalism with the working class punk rockers. But interestingly when browsing KZbin, i have come across some even stranger genre mixes than just ska + metal, i heard some bands doing black ska (black metal + ska) and even blackened reggae... Sadly i can't recall their names anymore.
