can we please not petty argue over genres? as far as I'm concerned, stuff like that is just as subjective as music itself.
Whos arguing?

It depends. The majority of bands classed as metalcore take their cue from the likes of At the Gates and Sick of it All. Solos are irrelevent, I feel. I'd say that Hatebreed, Throwdown, Terror etc are more "pure" metalcore because you can clearly hear the combination of massive Pantera riffs and huge Sick of it All style beatdowns.
True that, cheers.
