Nah, but seriously, is blues metal a genre or just another name for an existing one?

Blackgaze... what the fuck

It seems interchangeable with post-black metal but the origin of the term shoegaze comes from the guitar player having so many effects pedals that they spend the entire show looking down at them.

Can a black metal band that uses a ton of effects be considered blackgaze but not be post-black?

Fuck that, I refuse to use the term blackgaze regardless. It seems like one of those sub genre names that's gonna become a derogatory term just like all the 'core' genres.

"Oh, that band is terrible. I don't listen to that cockgaze stuff."

while i like the idea of this thread, you did complete kill the death/doom discussion with this.

So I have heard thrashcore referred to as fast hardcore punk but less metallic than grindcore. Of course there is more to it than that since grindcore isn't on this site unless it is metal enough and there is plenty of thrashcore bands here. I have heard some thrashcore and it sounded nothing like thrash metal so why does it share the same name? Can anyone explain all this to me?

The "thrash" in thrashcore is derived from an obsolete term for what is now commonly known as hardcore punk.

Thrashcore is often confused with crossover thrash and sometimes thrash metal. Further confusion is added by the fact that many crossover bands, such as D.R.I., began as influential thrashcore bands. The term thrashcore is of recent vintage but dates from at least 1993. Throughout the '80s, the term "thrash" was in use as a synonym for hardcore punk (as in the New York Thrash compilation of 1982). It eventually came to be used for the faster, more intense style pioneered by D.R.I., just before their crossover period. The "-core" suffix is necessary to distinguish it from the thrash metal scene, which is also referred to as "thrash" by fans. Still more confusingly, the term "thrashcore" is occasionally used by the music press to refer to thrash metal-inflected metalcore.

Are we considering black n roll a real genre these days? If so it should probably be added to Satyricons genre.

Haven't heard any Satyricon, but is it something like the later Darkthrone albums?

Black grind ? Is it real ?

There is deathgrind so why not.

I've heard a few people mention it when talking about bands like Circle of dead Children and Phantom.

Examples :

are these deathgrind ? grindcore ? black metal ?

Why is black'n'roll considered something more than a joke along the lines of blackcore, bluegrass black metal etc?

i dont agree with all bands that are called black and roll being called black and roll. More than a few of them are just more extreme motorhead soundwise. I call this style of metal motorbastard metal myself.

Haven't heard any Satyricon, but is it something like the later Darkthrone albums?

None of the Black 'N' Roll bands I've listened to sound like Motorhead. I have no clue what all of you are talking about.

Can someone describe "post-metal" for me and maybe give an example?

But they sound nothing like Kvelertak nor do they sound like Blood Cult.

It usually is a term for the whole atmospheric sludge sub-gernre pioneered by bands like Neurosis and Isis. However, more recently it has also been used to describe bands such as Giant Squid and Bloodiest.
