** NotChristianRock: They also have a bunch of this

* Oceans Ate Alaska

* Bleed from Within

* Frontierer (some deathcore and djent elements)

* [[Music/FearAndLoathingInLasVegas Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas]] (fused with HardcoreTechno and first-wave metalcore)

* TheQuincyPunk: A longstanding criticism of fans of beatdown acts and, often, the bands themselves; the stereotype of the violent scumbag who makes a big show of backing friendship, inclusion, and togetherness, but really just cares about crowdkilling, starting fights, breaking stuff, and generally being a hyper-macho piece of shit is sadly TruthInTelevision, and certain bands[[note]]Hatebreed, The Acacia Strain, Harm's Way, Knocked Loose, Code Orange, Nails, Turnstile, and Xibalba being among the most frequently cited[[/note]] have at least gained a reputation for attracting fans like this, if not attracting criticism of their own for aiding and abetting that kind of behavior.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Quite often, especially when metalcore was gaining mainstream popularity in the mid 2000's. The main reason being that many bands gained popularity when the members were really young, without the experience to manage a band or finances for themselves. This made the metalcore scene ''ripe'' for labels to exploit and take advantage of. Trustkill, Artery, Victory, and especially Mediaskare were infamous for terrible record deals and having a long list of bands that ended up falling off the radar or breaking up, though just about any metalcore label will have bands they screwed over.

* '''Nu metalcore''': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: metalcore and nu metal combined, often with a rapping presence and industrial elements, as well as prominent clean vocals in the lighter acts. Famous acts include Music/CodeOrange, Vein.fm, Music/OfMiceAndMen, Music/FromAshesToNew, Issues, and Music/{{Volumes}}.

* '''Mathcore''': Technical metalcore involving odd time signatures, dissonant chords (the fabled "panic chord"), and frequent GenreMashup tendencies. Famous acts include Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Candiria, The Chariot, Car Bomb, and Norma Jean.
* '''Melodic metalcore''': ''The'' most famous style in the genre, this started out as a mix of metallic hardcore and melodic death metal (and sometimes thrash metal) before it began to embrace post-hardcore and pop-punk elements. Characterized by melodic death riffing and the frequent usage of clean vocals. Famous acts include Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, All That Remains, Parkway Drive, As I Lay Dying, and Trivium.
* '''Modern metalcore''': An offshoot of melodic metalcore, this took the catchy choruses and pop-punk dabblings of many of the original acts and emphasized them, while mostly eschewing the melodic death elements and frequently embracing electronic elements as well. Famous acts include The Devil Wears Prada, early Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for My Valentine, Atreyu, Asking Alexandria, and Motionless in White.
* '''Beatdown hardcore''': An offshoot of metallic hardcore involving slower tempos, far more frequent breakdowns, and a generally much heavier, more mosh-centric approach. Famous acts include Hatebreed, Madball, Terror, 25 ta Life, Biohazard, and Harm's Way.

* '''Entombedcore''': A blend of old-school metallic hardcore, old-school death metal, and often crust punk or powerviolence, typically involving the "chainsaw" guitar sound of old-school Swedish death metal (hence the reference to Entombed). Famous acts include Trap Them, Nails, Cursed, All Pigs Must Die, Sect, and Wolf King.
* '''Nu metalcore''': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: metalcore and nu metal combined, often with a rapping presence and industrial elements, as well as prominent clean vocals in the lighter acts. Famous acts include Code Orange, Vein.fm, Of Mice and Men, From Ashes to New, Issues, and Volumes.

* TheQuincyPunk: A longstanding criticism of fans of beatdown acts and, often, the bands themselves; the stereotype of the violent scumbag who makes a big show of backing friendship, inclusion, and togetherness, but really just cares about crowdkilling, starting fights, breaking shit, and generally being a hyper-macho piece of shit is sadly TruthInTelevision, and certain bands[[note]]Hatebreed, The Acacia Strain, Harm's Way, Knocked Loose, Code Orange, Nails, Turnstile, and Xibalba being among the most frequently cited[[/note]] have at least gained a reputation for attracting fans like this, if not attracting criticism of their own for aiding and abetting that kind of behavior.

* Vein (also beatdown and nu metal)

* Vein (also mathcore, some nu metal elements)

* ScareChord: The "panic chord" (dissonant chords usually played in odd time signatures, usually right before a breakdown or before a slowdown in a breakdown) is a genre hallmark that emerged in mathcore in the late 1990s and became almost ubiquitous in the early 2000s, and while it mostly fell out of favor when melodic metalcore (and, later, modern metalcore) took over, they have started to reemerge in the late 2010s, as bands like [=SeeYouSpaceCowboy=], Chamber, and Vein have made heavy usage of them in their music.
