Does that include any of these guys who's music has lasted centuries.

[C]rap, hip-hop, bluegrass, most of modern pop, Tina Turner (arghhhhhh what a screech), Bernstein, most of Copland, most Dvorak symphonies, Sibelius, probably with the exception of his Violin Concerto.
And anything that played/sung badly.
Separate category – "unjustly forgotten" music. It was forgotten for a reason, most of it, anyway. Don't dig it out from its grave!
Yes, you're quite right. Hand on heart, I like the Horn Concertos, love the 2nd movement of the Clarinet Concerto (might have it played at my funeral) and the Requiem is wonderful. But that just makes me more aggrieved - so much dross surrounding a handful of gems. A bit hit and miss, if you ask me.But, have you listened to the Mozart Requiem?
I played it once for an anti-Mozart friend and he ended buying the album.
Metalcore covers a wide range. I like quite a few of the metalcore/math type bands from back in the day: Dillinger Escape Plan, Drowningman, Botch, Shai Hulud, Converge, Cave In, Bloodlet and Candiria for example. I don't care for the hardcore bands that feel like water-downed death metal like Shadows Fall, All That Remains and anything else inspired by At The Gates. Entombed inspired hardcore, like Black Breath, however, I can get behind.Interesting, I'm not really a metalhead but find deathcore ok. Ok it took a concerted effort to get there. How do you go with metalcore and math rock?
I make an exception for grindcore.I think any genre containing 'core' is going to have issues.
