Kind of. It's really mostly scene bands and stuff who called themselves metalcore and deathcore but weren't actually either.They share similarities but are usually much more upbeat and stuff like A Day To Remember sounds like metalcore guitars with Sum 41/blink 182 lyrics on top.
So yea, it's basically a "throw everything the elitists don't like" in here genre.
I like some of it though.
