\\\"The Scrappy: The genre has been steadily becoming this in the eyes of purists due to the amount of bands going \\\"tech\\\" and changing their lyrical approach to vaguely philosophical/metaphysical Purple Prose-filled rambling in an effort to win over critics, particularly deathcore acts. Many of them wind up sounding exactly like Decrepit Birth, the band most commonly blamed for starting this trend; while Decrepit Birth themselves are generally respected, the majority of the acts copying them are not. The tendency of many of these bands to rely on studio magic and then fall flat live has not helped them dispell this perception.\\\"

This is confusing, particulary because:
1) I\\\'ve never heard a band sound quite like Decrepit Birth -- they have a pretty unique sound
2) Which trend did they start?, since they certainly weren\\\'t the first tech/prog death fusion (Diminishing Between Worlds being released in 2008), and they were always technical, just not always progressive
3) I\\\'m fairly sure tech-death has had a large amount of haters since the beginning
