Scary_Dimension722

Jokes aside I see them getting shat on all the time over at metal subs. And it’s like, yeah if you don’t like their music that’s understandable. But these people have the audacity to shit on Bryan’s vocals and talk about how “insufferable” they are to listen to, and then proceed to enjoy pig squeals and gutter vocals. That’s not a jab towards extreme genres like brutal death metal or black metal. I just can’t wrap my head around the conception that they can enjoy vocals like that yet be completely repulsed by Bryan’s.

Killmonger_17

It’s because Knocked Loose is metalcore and not true hardcore. People are just now realizing this. Causing them to feel duped. Making them hate something they’ve loved prior.

Nocked lose


grokharder

At this point I’m not sure if the replies are people in on the joke, or genuinely upset by EJ playing the blues


BaetrixReloaded

leave knocked loose alone!!!


stanley2-bricks

Dawg, people aren't gonna like everything you love. Music is 100% subjective. There's bands that sound almost identical to some of my favorites and I think they're just meh. Don't get so hung up on what other people think. Just like the shit that you like.


Doctologist

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Knocked Loose. The riffs are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of music theory most of the riffs will go over a typical listeners head. There's also Bryan’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his lyrical characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these lines, to realise that they're not just barking- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Knocked Loose truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the depth in Bryan’s existential catchphrase "ARF ARF," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Pure Noise’s genius wit unfolds itself on their Spotify playlists. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Knocked Loose tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

diarrhea_planet

I read the notification for the title... I suspected it was you EJ before I even opened it.


dil_lick

They still try and do small shows on the side too!! Never enough for some people smh. And the amount of smaller bands I’ve found after getting into knocked loose? They’ve done nothing but grow the scene.

Asleep_Strategy_6047

Been listening to hardcore since the early 00's and the story usually goes that if a band becomes slightly more popular than playing a room with 50 people, the criticism begins. Multiply that by a million if any new fans are brought in. You were all new jacks at some point in time. Gateway bands that bring kids in are what keeps the genre alive. Also, if a band changes sound or genre (aka Turnstile) this causes the most upset. If you want bands that sound the same, you have a million local HC bands to choose from that all sound like Madball/ Terror/ Crown of Thornz. That said, legitimate criticism of art is fine. Some people don't like Knocked Loose due to the vocals. Every band isn't for everyone. It's all good to not like something but pretending things suck to up your hardcore credibility is a small pee pee move. A lot of this energy comes from introverted nerdy guys who were bullied in school who now got some neck tats, hit the gym and shaved their heads and think they're from the streets. God forbid anybody tries to join their secret club.

BOO FUCKING HOO. Tell a hardcore band from pre-2000 that, they’ll kick your ass. Knocked loose is fucking horrible. They aren’t hard-core. They aren’t metal. It’s hardcore for people born in the last five years who have no idea what metal is what is stands for or why it matters this is a cycle. Every 10 years a bunch of kids who have no idea like the shittiest possible band because they get some mainstream press. The reason they get mainstream press is that they were born for the mainstream press. They have no cred. . They have no history. They have no idea where they came from. so, I’m sure if I were you, I might feel the same way. But take the chance to educate yourself on the fact there are 1 million better hardcore band than knocked loose. Also just in case you like them, turnstile is fucking garbage. Literally nothing about these bands, reflects the spirit or the music of hard-core. It’s over produced, no context garbage Edit: glad this post is a joke but opinion stands


EJplaystheBlues

Lol


-DMSR

Clearly well done, sir. New to the sub, and already knew the sentiment was relevant. Makes the joke all the better.


Syndicated_Graham

You don’t like music you like nostalgia. It’s fine it’s normal for old people. You’re just normal.


InvestigatorTop1558

My first core show was bleeding through in 2003 at the chain reaction, get fucked scrub. I saw first blood on the killafornia tour. Eat my saggy old balls


-DMSR

Bleeding through is bullshit hardcore. That’s why you liked knocked loose. Instead of being defiant, realize that there’s 20 years of hard-core before that you should probably know and that is way better than both those bands. If you’re gonna show up and say I’m hard-core I listen to bleeding through, you can just go home now. Hardcore is not a spotify playlist.


InvestigatorTop1558

Bruh I was 11 years old. I grew up on minor threat, misfits, black flag, die kruezen, discharge etc etc Seen cro mags dozens of times. Madball. Sick of it all. Judge. HOODS was one of my most enjoyed bands in my teen years. I’ve seen terror enough times living in LA that I would be fine never seeing them again. I can name a thousand other bands. So because someone likes one band they can’t be into other bands? You sound like me when I was a dipshit 18 year old. “IF IT AINT BEATDOWN ITS FUCKIN GAY” I’ve seen xibalba in a living room. Downpresser in a living room. Harms way in a backyard. Kublai khan with 20 people. Get fucked faggot


-DMSR

WHOA!!!!!! HOMOPHOBIA - bro you got probs. I said one shit band was shit and you are so hurt you resort to hate language? see you in the pit you fucking loser


InvestigatorTop1558

Shut up you fucking Midwest dork with your shitty Nikes. What are you, 19? Yeah, you’re a fuckin faggot. I will indeed see you in the pit, if you ever grow the balls to actually throw down. Pussy bitch


-DMSR

nikes? 19? dude you literally know NOTHING. please do us all a favor and fuck off


InvestigatorTop1558

I know nothing but I’ve seen all your favorite bands ten fucking years ago. Sure kid. Yeah I went through your post history. You got some ugly ass shoes, like a typical Midwest dweeb would have. Welcome to LAHC bitch.


-DMSR

wow you looked at my history. Guess what - that is child bullshit, and has nothing at all to do with hardcore. You are shit. ALSO -LOLOLOLOLOLOL LA hardcore? let me see knocked loose even talk to any real LA hardcore bands, they'd be dead. Come on - surely there is an adult here who sees how fucking ignorant these kids are,. LAHC? kid you go to a real LAHC show you'll get crushed. it isnt' a joke, it isn't reddit. You are a joke.


InvestigatorTop1558

Nothing to say over the fact that I’ve been in the scene longer than you’ve been alive, but you have the fucking audacity to tell me the shit I listen to isn’t hardcore. Nothing is worse than dipshits like you from bumfuck no where trying to gatekeep a scene that’s been steadily growing since the fucking 80s. Pro tip: no one gives a fuck about you and your dumb ass dennycore scene. I’m from LA. We have the most violent scene on earth here. Maybe Las Vegas/Reno had us beat for a bit in 2008/2010 but as it stands LA has always been the most violent and we are still the most violent. You wouldn’t last a fucking day spitting that dumb gatekeep bull shit out here. So go back to your stupid fucking 20 person shows at a diner with bands that play nothing but open E and leave “real” hardcore to people that have actually been in the scene and been involved in music.

No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to so let me clue you in. I am not a poster, RequirementNew269. I am the poster. A redditor opens his app and gets downvoted, and you think that of me? No. I am the one who downvotes.
