What's The Difference Between Metal and Hardcore?

     So it's no mystery to any of you that I love the heavy music. But something that has gotten on my nerves is the metal fans taking shots at hardcore fans. I love metal and hardcore. So here's my problem all hardcore is is a subgroup or genre of metal. Yeah! metal kids take that stick your metal horns up to it. They all stem from the same thing. All are categories of extreme metal. Yup extreme METAL!
       I've only ever been to one death metal show. And here's my review NEVER AGAIN! While at hardcore shows the band will want the crowd to move and mosh, they always say to make sure no one get's hurt. Death Metal show, not the case. I remember the front man yelling "I want to see blood on the floor!" That's about the time I feared for my life and left.
        But me and my big shirt went off subject. Musically they all come from the same root in my opinion. The tree just branched off in different directions. The metal direction: a bunch a competitive musicians who refuse to be called hardcore. And the hardcore direction: a community of musicians who encourage and help each other out and most importantly...stand for something, whether it be God, human rights, finding a cure for a disease, or all of the above. I think that's the real difference....oh an guitar solos.
