Unfortunately, Corb, this genre DOES exist. I mean, there would be no way for some crackhead to mysteriously blend emo with metal, but metal songs with emotional lyrics? (listen to Megadeth's "Trust" as an example of one of the Big Four doing it) Why would you not like it? Of course we gotta get our feelings out sOmEhOw. Emocore was a way of describing emo back in the 1980s when Rites of Spring wrote hardcore punk songs that were emotional rather than political. Essentially like how hardcore punk itself is also called punkcore. Nowadays, emocore has spun off into a differentiating genre named "screamo," because of emo being replaced with a more gentle, indie-infuenced alternative rock genre. Screamo (skramz for people who've become scared of the original term due to normies ruining the fun) is '90s D.C. emocore all over again. Some notable bands include Florida's defunct I Hate Myself, Orchid from Massachusetts, Canada's Silverstein, (mixed with Baltimore) North Carolina's Alesana (pronounced Alice-Ana), and NYC's Saetia (SAY-shuh).
