[edit] Tech metal

"Tech metal" and "Math metal" are only buzz words from metalcore/hardcore fans who are just getting into metal. It is neither a subgenre of heavy metal nor death metal. This is not actually a real genre of metal. This list is a combination of technical death metal, grindcore, deathgrind, progressive death metal, progressive metal, metalcore and hardcore bands who are becoming increasingly more trendy for metalcore/hardcore fans to get into.

That summed the reason up well enough, and it's right there in the article. The "Tech metal" term is incorrect and not terribly common to begin with, the article should be deleted or merged with death metal or progressive metal

• Comment the critical comments quoted above were only added to the article on December 1 [1], and essentially constitute vandalism. While the criticism may be valid, please evaluate that on its merits and not because the article contains language asserting its own non-notability. —Wahoofive (talk) 22:36, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete Again, this article sounds like the same case as Alternative metal, with someone trying to make up a genre to promote their favourite bands. This article doesnt even warrent merging, and as such should be out right deleted. ~~Leyasu

• Well, I vote to Keep it, but significantly pare it down. Even if the sole purpose of the page is indicate that tech metal is not canonically considered a separate genre of metal, I think that's still informative enough to merit an entry, even if it's a really short one.

Delete This article is garbage and doesn't really make any since for it to be here. Too many of the bands share no similarity to realtech metal. It's totally unneccessary, and makes the entire sub-genre category look like a joke. Theintrepid 15:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

"Real" tech metal? Who died and made you god of genres? Escapeartist 23:25, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
