Please don't critcize and say "Listen to the classics, the influences...blah..." I'll tell you right now, I don't like classics, I'm sorry. You may think the current music is horrible and stupid, but I don't like classics. You're entitled to your opinion.
My favorite bands are...

UnderOATH
Silverstein
Three Days Grace
Bullet For My Valentine
Flyleaf
Paramore
The Almost
Emmure
Hawthorne Heights
My Chemical Romance
Madina Lake
Forever the Sickest Kids [i find it funny that theyre not vey mainsteam yet i went to hollister the other day && they were playing a FTSK song...]
Boys Like Girls

metal, post-hardcore, and alternative are my favs, tho...

I basically like all those bands you like!
Awesome taste in music!

Some other bands you might like:
-From First To Last
-AFI
-The Used
-Enter Shikari
-Thrice
-The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
-Boys Night Out
-Circa Survive
-Atreyu
-Avenged Sevenfold
-Disturbed
-Rise Against
-Drop Dead, Gorgeous
-Cancer Bats
-Armor For Sleep
-Envy On The Coast
There are more, but I can't name them all...

A website I'd reccomend is: www.last.fm/
On that website you can type in bands you like and it will reccomend song and bands that are similar to what you already like. Also, you can find people who have a similar taste in music as you.
You probably don't care, but my username on there is GuitarChick16

Hope this was helpful!

Well no offense but I don't consider any of the bands you listed to be metal...and the only DECENT one you listed was BFMV.

Bullet, MCR, Flyleaf

Listen to the Classics.

You literally asked for it.

(grow & learn)

I listen to:

-Silverstein
-Atreyu
-Sky Eats Airplane
-Drop Dead, Gorgeous
-The Almost
-I Killed the Prom Queen
-Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (a bit mainstream for my tastes though)
-Say Hi to Your Mom

Not exactly my favorite genre of rock, but whatever. Music is music!
