good music will survive, bad music will survive. too many bands today.

since their genesis album (which i listened to a couple times, didn't quite grab me) job for a cowboy have been solid modern death metal. before that doesn't count - they played deathcore to get shows. and that's the type of thing that many people will not respect them and their music for.

me, i really don't care. i love music. i love heavy music. i love metal. i enjoy all it's subgenres, there's good, original bands in every one of them, and terrible bands too. metal has both the best and the worst bands in the world. but i've never heard a deathcore band i like, because every single band in that category is a homogeneous mixture of uninspired riffs and gratuitous wankery. but JFAC to me is decent death metal, but i think there's a lot better death metal out there than JFAC, so i don't really ever take the time to digest them. i love The Red Chord, so obviously i'm not an elitist or genre-lumping here.

i hate musical elitists too. art elitist - that's a bad personality type. whenever i talk to them, i call them out on it. but they have some reason (unfounded as it is) to think that way. the truth is, all those "scene" bands and the types of bands that would play a certain style of music for anything else than the sake of the art (i'm looking at you iwrestledabearonce) usually suck. so based on that they instantly think it sucks, and they lump JFAC into this category. but if anything, JFAC is a good thing because they play straight death metal, and it WILL get kids to look for their influences. my first death metal band was Lamb of God.

i'm not in the business of looking at pictures of bands to see if i'll like them, i don't even like watching too many videos. i don't care what haircuts they have. i don't care what costumes they have unless it adds to the show. bottom line, if your singer can't sing, if your lyrics were written by a 10-year-old, if you insert gratuitous breakdowns to hide the fact that you have no rhythm, if you can't compose, then you play bad music. hope you can sleep at night.
