does NOT EXIST AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
this freaking reference used to defend the validity of that label is not even... valid... itself:
"Nintendocore (wherein musicians use specific instruments to mimic the sounds of Nintendo games)"
what specific instruments?? they use ONE keyboard in which only half of their songs use a square wave lead of some sort that somewhat sounds like this 8 bit sound
that article was also written long before the recording of A Natural Death so the author would have no knowledge of the use of the LSDJ cartridge that contributes to the 8bit sound on the tracks "Murder" and "[Crushing]".
as other people have said before interview after interview the band continues to express their opposition to "nintendocore" as a serious label. the name was used as a JOKE when they were just KIDS in a garage and is far from a legitimate sub genre.
If you can find ONE other band to whom this label applies to i will stop bitching about these changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.139.177.99 ( talk • contribs)
There are a lot of bands that take a lot of influence from HORSE the Band. iamerror, As the World Fades, I Shot the Duck Hunt Dog, Breakdance Kickboxer, :(, GO! With Fourteen O, 100DEADRABBITS!!!, the list goes on. Nathan jokingly made the term, but other bands title themselves with the genre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.99.117.129 ( talk) 02:31, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I archived the last talk page because nothing related to the article was actually being discussed. Seegoon 00:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Deleted the line "They have been rocking the fuck off of faces ever since" from the end of the "history" section's first paragraph. Umm, "not encyclopedic" i think. 24.233.40.212 23:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
deleted the sentence "Their uncontrolled energy was seen yet again in New Jersey when fans lit firecrackers inside the venue, which could have caused equipment to break and even the venue to catch fire. " that's way too long of a "could have", it's sensationalist, and it was more than likely just edited in by the kid who set off the firecrackers. 75.65.109.15 08:11, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Deleted "nintendocore" as a genre, because that was a joke. The band has made reference to Nintendo characters, and plays with an 8-bit sound, but their lyrics are very much not relating, and having the genre was misleading. Djuplina ( talk) 06:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how to do the footnote notation thing so I'm going to provide the links, where they go, and a bit of info on what they are about:
to finally get rid of that stupid nintendocore label, here's three sources:

http://www.rock-metal-music-reviews.com/interview-erik-engstrom-of-horse-the-band/
also i'm not sure how to use this but these are a scans of a magazine interview where the band express once again their disapproval of being called nintendocore and dismissal of the genre as a legitimate one: http://i27.tinypic.com/vepuua.jpg http://i29.tinypic.com/5nn23b.jpg http://i30.tinypic.com/160d6ba.jpg http://i25.tinypic.com/2pqj6hh.jpg

we can't have an article that says in one place that it's a joke genre and then uses it seriously in another, agree?
also, suppose nintendocore is a real legit genre. according to our own article on here it claims that amongst other things it is a videogame soundtrack/music inspired version of metalcore. First of all, Horse the band had far stronger punk inclinations in the beginning, making them at most hardcore. they moved towards metalcore with their latest release, which is also the less "nintendo-y" album thus far. therefore they didn't meet the metalcore prereq of nintendocore back then. so now we have the "VG inspired" requisitite. as you will find in this interview: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=97293 videogame music was absolutely no where near the band's intentions when they wrote their first songs. the riffs for the pioneer "nintendocore" songs were written for a piano, and the use of a synth was an afterthought. nowadays the keyboard riffs are inspired by andrew lloyd webber, pat benatar and classical composers. so even if nintendocore is a real genre, the way that it is defined does not cover horse the band.
i apologize if i came off as anything but civil but i really want to end this confusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by United c ( talk • contribs) 01:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
The keyboardist will always be in the band, as he writes the songs, so there is no need for "current". Also, HORSE had already shunned the label nintendocore before they started using LSDJ. Therefore I am removing that part of the introduction. -- Skellyscribbles ( talk) 01:13, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
-- It's also not a special keyboard at all, it's using the exact same engine as a Microkorg which is easily the most common synth. In fact it's the most sold synth ever which is saying much since it's so new. The whole sentence should be removed and not be added again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.183.200.215 ( talk) 20:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
