I like very little punk as well. I hate almost all straight up metal/death metal.
aside from country and pop shit i grew up listening to when i was young, the majority of the music i liked before hardcore was classic rock, and heavy metal. Shit from ozzy, acdc, metallica, iron maiden, all that. Straight up metal is built in me, cant get away from it.

hardcore is neither metal nor punk and that is the problem
hardcore is posers from both genres that fail at doing anything good from either of them ><
Hardcore is neither of those because it is hardcore. Having punk or metal influence doesn't mean they are trying to copy that exact music. As everyone has said, you should start listening to the real hardcore and their subgenres. Although I doubt your opinion will ever change, so no real point arguing really.
