In its current state, there are several subgenres, that while not having any real, set name, most metalcore bands can be pegged into, usually as follows:
The by far most famous band in this category is Hatebreed, who have managed to come across some mainstream musical acceptance, such as being on the soundtracks for Hollywood movies ( XXX and The Punisher) and their vocalist, Jamey Jasta, being the host of MTV2's Headbanger's Ball .
This particular style is considered the simplest style of metalcore, with songs averaging around one or two minutes in length and being written in a tradition closer to aforementioned 80's hardcore punk, with traditional elements such as mosh breakdowns and singalongs, but with guitars having a much heavier, metallic edge to them. Lyrics tend to be focused on personal issues such as self-determination, mental strength, unity (within the hardcore and metalcore scene) and sometimes straight-edge, also a tradition that has been continued from older hardcore bands.
Other notable bands in this style: Throwdown , Walls of Jericho (also famed for having a female vocalist), Terror , Integrity , xcanaanx, The Break In , Most Precious Blood, Bury Your Dead and Earth Crisis. Some bands such as All Out War are despite their sound being closer to thrash metal than old-school hardcore filed under this style due to their image and attitude to the hardcore scene in general.
This particular style of metalcore is slightly looked down upon, as the scene is generally considered filled (some would say "polluted") with a high number of these bands, who all play fairly similar music. The style in question draws upon heavy inspiration from the melodic death metal bands that came out of Gothenburg, Sweden during the 90's, especially At the GatesAt the Gates are a now defunct melodic death metal band who virtually defined the genre. Combining the speed and anger of thrash metal with the burgeoning death metal scene in Gothenburg, Sweden at the time, they crafted a unique sound.

Line-Up Anders Friden: V, which usually means a combination of melodic and heavy guitars, fast paces and the inclusion of some slight hardcore elements, such as mosh breakdowns. Sometimes, other influences, such as Meshuggah-esqueMeshuggah (named after the Yiddish word for "crazy") is a five-piece extreme metal band from Umea, Sweden who use extended polyrhythmic passages, complex drum patterns, odd time signatures, smooth, melodic lead guitar solos, and harsh, atonal vocals. time signatures or softer (often considered " emoSee Emo (disambiguation) for other uses of the term Emo.

Poison the Well are often credited as one of the bands that made this style of metalcore popular with their full-length debut 'The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation', but some would say they also play almost too chaotically (see below) to be placed under this style, and others would say that they have over time progressed away from it, deciding to go in different musical directions with each album released.
