itt: Look back on a darker (and/or more neon coated) time in your life; who were your favorite shitty metalcore bands? what finally took you out of it?
I'll start
Personally, the single biggest reason I abandoned the Warped Tour scene was just finding better music, but it also was really starting to bother me how so many bands in that scene were cashing in on suicide prevention (and definitely also getting pussy from it.)
One of the dudes from Falling in Reverse had sex with my girlfriend. Couldn't do it anymore.
Henry Rogers
holy shit same thing happened to me but with a dude from of mice & men
those dudes really like their young girl snatch

I still love going to shitty metalcore shows. They're fun and full of hot girls with daddy issues. I got laid after an Asking Alexandria that I also got a concussion at.
I don't really follow any of the new music from those bands anymore. Like, the first album is usually relatively really heavy and raw but by the second or third album, they basically become an edgy pop band making music that only appeals to teenage girls. Then they promise that the next one will be like the first but it never is and once the fans get fed up and stop listening to the new stuff, they do "anniversary" tours just playing the first album.
Also yeah all the guys in these bands are just in it for the pussy.

I was more of a crunkcore kid but still enjoyed some metalcore.
I didn't exactly drop out of the scene, the scene just moved away from me. Most artists dropped the neon let's-have-fun act and got serious and as a result, more boring. Stuff You Will Hate shutting down was also a nail in the coffin of the scene being dead.

In my opinion, Warped Tour was officially dead when YouTubers started performing on stage.

Social Repose needs to die
Dylan Anderson

I still give some old albums some spins now and again, but the sound stagnated quickly. Any new bands in the genre sound like crap, or just sound like complete rehashes.
