Post Hardcore vs. Hardcore
 

I'd like to start out with, what is the difference between the two? And second which do you think is better?

There are quite a few threads giving examples. Just check them out.

I am more of a fan of Post Hardcore myself, its more progressive, has more room for creativity, and more often than not is more melodic.
I love Hardcore too mind.

PxH baby

Post-Hardcore can be great but can also be dead boring. It lacks energy.

what is considered post-hardcore and what's considered hardcore? i've heard so many bands called post-hardcore that i dont know who actually is.

Listen to Trophy Scars for post-hardcore. <3 them.

Then listen to Bury Your [color=white]Fu[/color]ckin' Dead for some hardcore two-steppin'.

Joke right?

Yeah.

I need a definition of post-hardcore. I don't understand how Hopesfall, Trophy Scars, Fugazi and Quicksand can be put in the same category.

Random question: what is He Is Legend? Post hardcore? I sorta think so but I'm not too sure what to call them.

Trophy Scars = <3

Massive amount of threads on this topic. It's getting ridiculous.

I never really got into post-hardcore, but I might check out Trophy Scars and Fugazi if I ever have the time.

Quicksand

id call them metalcore with a lot melody that is very common these days... generic.

[QUOTE=40 oz 2 freedom]Quicksand[/QUOTE]
Best band in the genre.

There was a Post-Hardcore thread not to long ago. I like Post-Hardcore better than Hardcore. My favorite Post-Hardcore bands are Glassjaw, Hopesfall, Trophy Scars, and Thursday

Thanks. :thumb:

Yeah, but I still think they can be pretty cool. Some of their songs are just plain boring, but some like The Seduction are pretty cool.

You're just jealous I made a funny, Ethan.

Post Hardcore has more diversity in it, I guess ppl can make their own mind up if that's good or bad.

Fugazi is incredible.

yeah i like that song too.

So all of you are saying theres no definition of "post-hardcore" or "hardcore" its just what the band decides?

There's a definiton. Basically it's bands who took the fundamentals of hardcore and put their own little twist to it to differentiate it enough to not be straight up hardcore.


Like I said, listen to Trophy Scars. They have some very noticable emo influences, but they have their own style.

I like Post-Hardcore better, but both are good.

Surely you jest?

Exactly...it's like progressive rock, sort of...it's still "rock" but the group put their own spin on things.

The reason all these different bands can be put into Post-Hardcore is that they each took different elements of Hardcore and made it their own.

Am I strange to love hardcore but not post-hardcore even the minor differences?

No, not really.

Phew...thought I was strange there.
