In our quest for all things Metal, we decided (perhaps somewhat extremely erroneously) to delve deeper into the myriad of potentially possible genres, subgenres and “cores” that exist in the realm of Metal.  Since there are just too many to mention and account for (with perhaps even MORE “cores” being generated as we speak), it’s WAY easier to just call this EXACTLY what it is:  

MEME CORE!!

Time to double-up on your relaxer regimen, call that conspiracy theory “friend” you met at Wacken (he’s that dude with all the colored yarn, post-its, and thumbtacks) and get The Rib Lounge Dancers to help connect all the Meme-Core dots after you JOIN US on our perusal through the seemingly endless volumes of Meme-Core Lore (of Yore).
