Top 10 Most Absurd Metal Subgenre Names That Don't Exist

We all know that heavy metal has spawned some of the most diverse and unique subgenres in music history. From classic heavy metal to thrash to black metal, there's a subgenre for every taste. But what about the ones that don't exist?

That's right, we're talking about the most absurd metal subgenre names that people have come up with. We've got Metalcore, Deathcore, and Grindcore. Those are legitimate "core" genres. But what about all the other "core" genres that people have made up over the years? Some of them are downright absurd.

So what are your picks for the most ridiculous metal subgenre names?

The Top Ten

  1. Biebercore

    Ha Ha Ha! Metal with vocals that sound like a dying cat! Fit for hardcore Beliebers!

    Justin Bieber making metal? I don't want to live on this planet anymore!

    Justin Bieber? Heavy metal? Oh come on, this is just a joke.

  2. Pig Metal

    Black metal bands do not use pig squeals at all... What bands are you listening to?

    Isn't that Black Metal? A lot of Black Metal bands use pig squeals sometimes.

    Pig is a very bad idea for metal.

  3. Animecore

    It happens to be the name of an aesthetic. 2000s animecore is fascinating.

  4. Symphonic Stalin Death Metal

  5. Stalincore

    Surprised this doesn't exist. There are some metal bands that talk about Stalinist-era stuff, such as a band called Gulaghh. They have a whole album called Vorkuta, an infamous gulag.

    Hey, that could be a music genre for the Soviet Union's theme.

    I can totally imagine this existing.

  6. Orgasmic Metal

    It already exists. You know what disgrace I mean.

    Bee Movie trailer? Doge? That BOI? What has the world come to? Don't judge me.

  24. Ailencore

    This sorta exists. Check out Rings of Saturn.

  25. Christian Nintendogrind

    The title alone is just absurd. Both words just don't sound well together. Just imagine what it would sound like!

    What, Jesus and Mario playing a metal duet? Then Satan and Bowser?

    Christians writing songs about Nintendo?

  26. Biker Metal

  27. Satancore

    "So is this mainstream Black Metal?" - Metal Elitist.

    Satancore is just another word for Black Metal.

    That would be grindcore with satanic lyrics.
