"Please allow me to introduce myself/I'm a man of wealth and taste..." The man in question in MIKE DIKK, and that's what he said to the KOPPOD cohosts, before recording this episode, probably. His taste includes a predilection for 90s Metalcore, a subgenre unexplored by the KOPPOD troika. His wealth? It would come from his excellent podcast FIRST SEVEN-INCH CLUB, if they had a Patreon, which they do not. 

Drawing on his knowledge as a fan and experience as a participant, Mike sketches the Metalcore landscape for TYLER HAMMER and JAKE RAZOR. Drawing on minimal knowledge and experience as punk rockers, they pose some queries regarding the subgenre. Like it or not, Metalcore left a permanent mark on the hardcore scene and subculture as a whole. Give this episode a listen and get a glance of what that mark looks like, and how it felt upon impact. Be sure to check out FIRST SEVEN-INCH CLUB as well, if you like this podcast or DEMOLISTEN then you're sure to get some kicks out of it.
