Thrash

Back in the day, we just called DRI, COC, etc. "thrash" (before "Crossover," which was 1985 era) because kids who listened to that music were thrashers or skateboarders. Maybe make a note of that? Conservationist666 (talk) 02:20, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

I think Crossover thrash should have it's own page because it was a very influential genre. Here's some examples of genres it gave rise to:

They are important genres! (Well, 1st and 3rd are). It also influenced:

List

I'm glad this page has been added. However, lists are not encouraged in Wikipedia articles of this sort -- see Wikipedia:Embedded list. It would be better to include lists of crossover thrash groups in sentence forms, contextually grouped according to geography or style. Aryder779 (talk) 04:31, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should this article be moved?

Bands like Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity, Agnostic Front, etc. and thrash metal with a little bit more hardcore punk is more often called punk metal than "crossover thrash." See Piero Scaruffi and allmusic for instance. Crossover thrash is used much less and it's also a term that could cause confusion (for instance a thrash metal band like Metallica crossovered over to a wide audience, so one might accidently put them into this category.) I suggest we move this article to the punk metal page (the current state of that page is total OR.) RG (talk) 03:59, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, not really. The term "crossover thrash" is much more popular and widespread (on last.fm, for example, 15,000 people have used "crossover" as a tag and and another 1000 have used "crossover thrash", while only 1,200 people use "punk metal". Also, punk metal and "metalpunk" is often used for a new scene metal mostly influenced by crust punk and Darkthrone's newest albums. A couple of places using the "punk metal" term doesn't mean that it's the only one used. SonOfPlisskin (talk) 20:00, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

An anonymous IP user has been deleting bands that are generally considered as crossover. He claims there are no sources, but is actually deciding himself what should or shouldn't be considered for the list. There are many other bands without sources that he doesn't seem to have a problem with. The only one that there doesn't seem to be any "reliable" source for is Lawnmower Death, so we'll leave that band out for the time being. I'd like someone do check the sources for Dead Horse and Hellbastard and see if they're alright. He also seems to have a problem wth Hirax, despite there being reliable sources. I'm including this for comment, because the user continued to revert my edits without trying to discuss it here SonOfPlisskin (talk) 00:50, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
