Between The Buried and Me and Protest the Hero make this an easy choice.

I love metal-core. But also love the fun cornyness (if that's a word) of 80s glam hair metal.

Grunge, but not because of those Pearl Jam suckers.

Grunge easily, but provided AiC is included in that category instead of metal, which is what it really is.

Glam is my least favourite genre and I don't believe in glam metal (none of the bands are remotely metal). 

I don't believe in grunge really, it doesn't seem to have any standards whatsoever.

I hate Nu metal.

I don't like metalcore, however metalcore contains a couple bands I love, such as The Agonist and BtBaM (I consider them a mix of prog and metalcore at least).

Grunge by a long shot. Some really great bands came out of Grunge, and more specifically, Alternative/Indie Rock. The Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Alice In Chains, Dinosaur Jr., Mudhoney, etc. All these bands were making creative and unique music, especially The Smashing Pumpkins and Sonic Youth.

Metalcore can either be done REALLY good or REALLY bad, though I love all the good metalcore (BtBaM, PTH, ATR's 2006 album[which I know I'm gonna get flak for saying that])

grunge for me, by a long shot... it's what brought me back to rock in 91 (along with RHCP)... and yes, I liked Nirvana.... and I still do!! TongueWink
 
 
Strangely enough, although I litteraly hated most hair/glam-metal back in the !ą's, I find that I can actually listen (a bit) to Motley or GnR... I guess it sounds lame and tame next to these hardcore metal genres of today, which is probably why I can stand it better nowadays... guess I'm getting oldEmbarrassedLOL
 
 
But I still can't stand most of hair-glam, especially bon anchiove.
 
 
 
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Done.



Mind you, I did think about General Discussions for this one, that is "Discuss any topic at all that is not music-related"

Music?

That lot??

Pah!

And, indeed, Hmph!!

you are a hardcore guy...
 
For me it's a tie between glam and grunge, but there are much more glam bands/music that I like than grunge bands :
 
glam bands that I like : Skid Row, Ratt ('out of the cellar'), Extreme, Van Halen, Montrose, Europe, Alien (the self-titled album), Def Leppard ('Pyromania'), Rosy Vista, Arsenal, Murderer's Row, Motley Crue ('Dr Feelgood'), 21 Guns, Blue Murder, Badlands, Gary Moore ('run for cover'), Beau Nasty, Signal, Dangerous Toys, IRA (polish band), Ozzy Osbourne (the Randy Castillo era), Accept, Scorpions, Queen (they have some glam songs), Loudness, Mr. Big, WASP, It Bites ('eat me in st louis') and Judas Priest ('screaming for vengeance' and 'defenders of the faith') !
(Also glam-related prog metal bands like Crimson Glory, Angra, Queensr’che, Dream Theater, Savatage and power metal bands like Helloween, Blind Guardian, Viper, Gamma Ray)
 
grunge bands that I like : Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Jane's Addiction, Alice In Chains, Normalsi (polish band), Hey (polish band).(Melvins is not grunge, Smashing Pumpkins neither is).
