European Easycore Party

So now that easycore is officially the heaviest subgenre of tr00 heavy metal, it goes without saying that it will further split into further subgenres.  Without such subdivisions we wouldn't be able to bicker and argue about which one is more obscure and thus "better" than the others.  Well after those sell-outs A Day To Remember decided to quit making good music, some Eurotrash took over:

No, that isn't Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! that is Abandoned By Bears' "Empty Bottles, Lost Battles."  First thing to notice (aside from the still thumbnail) is that all the members like to wear American sports team apparel.  That is kind of super weird because normally easycore is made by a bunch of high school aged skinny straight edge kids who shun sports. Luckily, by donning Vikings (seriously?) and Celtics jerseys, the crew in this band goes into the Alpha territory and shuns the beta crowd.  Good for them.

Now, easycore is being pushed to its limits with all its progressive influence from both pop punk (hardest solos) and metalcore (hardest vocals) so naturally there is animosity as to what all the innovation will due to the broader fanbase.  I leave you with this YouTube comment:
