I went to a show with music like this once. Being a musician myself, I honestly can't believe that people like this stuff. My theory is that its more about being part of a band than actually playing music. Granted, to each their own, but this shit sucks.

I bet your a real good musician.

Eh, one way to look at it is in terms of evolution from blues rock, growing more cartoonish and niche over time. E.G., Yardbirds - Black Sabbath - Metallica - Slayer - This crap.

I like to envision that transition as a gradual ascending grade followed by a quick, sharp, downward turn.

you're talking about soft pop, right?
(Actually, I agree that the band in the link is terrible. Technical death metal, though, is some of the best music in existence.)
Also, some people have different tastes than you do. Amazing, isn't it?

There is taste and then there is...never mind. This shit sucks and I won't bother defending myself.

Anyone who calls music bad should be forced to expose some of their own less popular tastes for criticism :-)
I listen to instrumental metal which is just riffs because I like it. I also listen to those riffs when there's growling, wailing, screaming, or random other instruments I don't like with them. Sometimes these actually add to the music as compared to other vocals.
Pink Floyd / Cream / The Clash / wtfever you like is plenty good, but so is good extreme metal.

You have a valid point, but BREE BREEEEE BREEEEEEE BRE BREEEEEEEE BREEE GRAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW.

Did the girls just 'wooh' for death metal?

"How about 'at for fer some hardcah mittle!"

hOLY SHIT the Austin Power Pad just got hacked by funny people pretending to speak English!

"There are usually six [members], but one of our bandmates fell of a roof and broke both his legs..."
"Also good for the holidays, Arts and Crafts! Eh, boys and girls?"

Suck just found a new ambassador.

That's satire, right?

This. Is. Awful.
It would have been much better if everyone in the band didn't seem so amateur. I mean the bassist had a nice big bass with lots of strings, but he sure as hell could barely play it well. I mean for god sakes don't like at the fretboard when performing... That is not classy.
There were some ok moments, but they need A LOT of practice (alone and together) before they will be any good.

Man, that was truly entertaining...sugar pop intro, ultra commercial tv show with a format from like 100 years ago, some sort of metal band with all the completely non-metal kids trying to head bang, when you put the whole thing together... it's utterly TERRIFIC!! And then a debate about whether its applecore or brutalbraindeath or onthenosegrind! Terrificer and Terrificer! Thanks micro01!

did someone ever call an ambulance for that guy? He sounded to be in great pain.

Auditions for Lead Vocals must've been hysterical...

I really try hard to be as open-minded as I can about music and I'd like to think that I have pretty varied music tastes, but this is really just terrible noise (I can't even call it music)
I really don't understand how anyone can enjoy this crap at all, it's just pure cacophony and anyone who considers themselves a "singer" in one of these bands just because they make grunting pig noises is a loser
TL;DR - It's shit

Are you really putting down death/grind vocalists as a whole because they have a dissonant style? You're wrong if you think that shit is easy; I'd like to see you try and still be able to speak without trying to cough up a lung. I know I sure as hell can't.
That said, this band does suck.

Hmm, here's similar (if we are charitable) stuff done right, and here's a vocalist to impress you. Yes, it's a one person doing all that stuff, and yes, it's a "her".

Seconded, this isn't anywhere near being close to tech death. This is more like metalcore/grindcore. Being said, I'm surprised I didn't hear one of those "core" breakdowns.
Er, metalcore/grindcore?
I mean, I do agree that it ain't Technical Death (or good) but first thing that popped to my mind was Deathcore or some kind of Brutal Death Metal.
Not Metalcore which I understand is characterized by having occasional clean vocals and less wanking and more stuttering riffs.... or Grindcore which is more concentrated on speed in my understanding, and generally also doing less wanking.
Of course, I do have to admit I am not expert in these genres, I mostly just listen to the outer edges of them (in case of Grindcore, Metalcore I don't listen to at all).

Yeah, thanks. That was my first guess, I just weren't quite sure if brutal death can also be slow like this. It has some passages that made me doubt myself.
Yeah, I'm not great with them either. I mentioned metalcore because of their trendy cloths. When I think metalcore, I think trendy, but that's just a personal vice.
There was something very... dissonant about it that made me think grindcore.
Otherwise, I suppose I misspoke. But what I can say is that they were frightfully horrible compositions, but that is just my opinion.
I concur. This is pretty much Deathcore.
