Title: Post-Ironic Beardcore
Post by: Arcaeus on April 28, 2010, 04:18:07 AM
Any fans of this genre on the board? I would assume so, since many of you pride yourselves over your expansive music tastes (pretentious imo). I haven't dug deep into the discographies of pioneers of the genre, such as ZZ Top, but I love more modern beardcore bands such as Protest The Hero and Mastodon; they're intense.

Silverstein is pretty terrible though. I don't know how anyone could take them seriously.

I'd say yes. Maybe not as beardy as ZZ Top and not as corey as Protest The Hero, but I think they could fit into the genre and no one would complain.

And they actually have "beard" in their name. That's pretty damn beardcore.

Because I added them.  4 of the 5 members have bitchin' beards.  That's 80%, compared even with founders ZZ Top, who's drummer could only grow a mustache, that's 66% beard.  Therefore, Dream Theater is beardcore.  Whether they are true beardcore, progressive beardcore, beard prog, or beargressivecore, is up for someone else to figure out.

There is no beardcore like ZZ Top. As for DT, their Beardcore influences have been a lot more noticeable in the last albums, mainly because of the heavy influences of Beartrucci. I mean, compare this:
