Yeah so you define metal based on what you like or not.
Why not just say that there's metal that you appreciate and metal that you don't ?
That's the more rationnal approach. You can even say that there's good and bad metal, but saying "this is metal because I like it", and "this isn't metal because it's gay" doesn't work.
At least you'll be the only on to abide by your own definition, which makes talking about metal suck

'Core isn't metal because it has its roots in hard-core punk and dumbs/dilutes down its metal elements to caricatures of itself
Power metal isn't metal because the fan base is fucking cringe (Same argument goes for 'core)

What elements of metal are distilled down in 'core ?
Also the roots stuff is not a problem, you can get to point C from either point A or B.
And about the fandom, idc.
If Johan Sebastian Bach had the worst fandom in existence it still wouldn't make him a bad artist.

distills down its metal elements

Distilling=making something purer.
Metalcore is the TRVEST form of metal then

Idk; I'm just parroting talking points I got from leddit

Edited to make more accurate
Distilling/diluting the characteristics of a genre down leaves out all the nuance of what makes a genre good in the first place

Gotchu.
As said, not all 'core is made equal, as is not all metal.
That's why I usually dislike talking about "favourite subgenres" of metal and rather prefer to name the individual bands that I like.
Because there is good in multiple subgenres, and bad in others.
I like Gojira a lot, doesn't mean I just listen to death metal. I like Pantera, doesn't mean I just listen to groove. I like Infant annihilator a lot, doesn't mean all 'core is good.

listen to this :

Hour of Penance was good until they changed out their brutal, groove/rhythm-based sound for a more melodic one

Odious Mortem is NOT Loudwire slop

Fleshgod Apocalypse is okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to them
