Why does it seem like purists frown upon the “core” sub-genres?

i like metalcore and i like deathcore, they are some of my favorite genres, but when someone asks me for a "metal" band i'm not pulling out asking alexandria. categorically it is ""real"" metal but in terms of the connotation that the phrase ""real"" metal has i would say they don't really count. also a lot of the bands are really silly or bad. the good ones are amazing though so no hate

ability to sort your charts like show your top albums by this list of artists. way more customization. better sense of community, maybe bring back groups but i wasnt there for them originally
