Leading sceneologists have released a new study predicting a new trend of metalcore bros getting fed up with the logistics and career options (or lack thereof) of being in a band and have been branching out into the world of pop music. In this “THE LATEST PIT BEEF” exclusive we will be delving into this phenomenon.

1. Michael Barr

Michael Barr (ex-VOLUMES) just released his foray into the world of pop/edm/trap/stuff that will actually get played in clubs. And you know, I was expecting the worst but I actually really liek this! It has some mad “post-drake brooding pop star” vibes via “hey i want to be the weeknd too”. I can totally picture myself listening to this while driving around at night after a party thinking about what i’m doing wrong with my life.

nm, just looking angsty in front of my PA system hbu???

2. Matty Mullins

Self-proclaimed Voice of Generation™ Matty Mullins (MEMPHIS MAY FIRE, being the voice of a generation) was ahead of the curve on this emerging trend, dropping his cringey pop album last year. Not much needs to be said about this, just listen to this song where he sings from the POV OF GOD!!!!!

3. Tyler Carter

As per usual anything related to ISSUES is miles ahead of their contemporaries, and it could be argued that Tyler Carter is the patient zero for the metalcore-goes pop, via his pop releases going back at least 4 years.

Besides being the first out the gate, Tyler has the benefit of being one of the most talented dues in the scene, and makes this stuff seem effortless

Check out Tyler fucking murder this Adele song!

Do you think this emerging trend will catch on? Do you think branching out as a pop singer is the logical conclusion of the “oh yea well i was always rly into americana/folk/being a DJ” career path of underground musicians? Who else can we expect to try this and fail via them not being Tyler Carter? Did i miss a bunch of examples????
