Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: Does a band have a legitimate complaint about being labeled "orgcore?"

A: I don't think bands openly dislike it but it's probably an issue more with lazy fan comparisons. Like, say you're a band like Red City Radio. First, my condolences. But imagine you spend all this time writing and recording a record. You bust your ass, you spend months fine tuning the songs, recording them, rerecordinging them, mastering them, blah blah blah. Then you put the record out and people just go, "Oh Ordcore." Which is vague, and potentially lumps you in with bands you A) Sound nothing like and B) May not even like.

It's like the old line, "I like every kind of music, except rap and country." Well, that makes a general assumption that all music under those umbrellas sound the same. But it goes the same for "Orgcore". Bands just want active listeners.
