Do they not count as post hardcore? I’ve never seen anyone talk about them here.

I Set My Friends On Fire - Things That Rhyme With Orange (story/set up and fun question/poll attached)

So 2009 warped tour Mansfield Massachusetts. Me and my group are awaiting our local representatives to hit the stage. Vanna is the band. Give them your ear if you haven't already. 1st EP and their first 2 albums should do it. Anyway we were really early and had to ride out a band before Vanna. A band I've never heard of and since that moment will never forget. This is the first song they played and me and my groups jaws collectively hit the floor. Anyway what is your quirky against the grain, inspired by those that have come before but at the same time doesn't sound like anyone else. I Set My Friends on Fire is my pic. Would love to hear yours... Side note Chris Preece announced in that set that would be his last with Vanna. Epic memory I will never forget

Lets get a r/PostHardcore definitive top 20 bands list

Seen a lot of other subs doing this lately, Figured I'd get a definitive r/PostHardcore band rankings going for us. All you need to do is post 20 of your favorite Post Hardcore bands (in no order, I will only be using total votes for each band, not how high they were ranked in each posters top 20) I did a quick search on the sub and I think this is something that hasn't been done yet. If this goes well we can do top 20 albums/songs/etc.

Figure I'll leave this going for 3 or 4 days to get a bunch of replies, then I'll do a top 16 bracket and eliminate 1 band per day till we get our definitive r/PostHardcore favorite band rankings. For criteria I guess as long as the band has done at least one album that classifies as PHC they're fair game.

Please no hating on others for not having your favorite band in their top 20 or criticising their overall choices. Let's have fun with this.

What happens when you let the guitar nerd get creative?

We had a new guitarist join the band. He cleaned up. Seriously though, are there many examples of sweeping and intense guitar like this throughout post hardcore or does it sit more in the metalcore realm?

Does anyone have a spouse/significant other that doesn’t listen to the same music as you?

Not sure if this question has been asked before, but I’m genuinely curious. My wife listens to mostly country and pop but I’m actually pretty blessed to have her because she goes to shows with me and has even gotten into some of the bands I listen to. And she doesn’t care what kind of music I put on. She’s the best in all kinds of ways. Before we got married I really only dated people that had the same interest of music as me. What do you guys do if your partner doesn’t like your music? Does it matter to you? Or is it a deal breaker?

Hey, I know ya'll fuck with screamo... So, I think this has zero deathcore, and lots of punk. What do you think

Any post-hardcore that sounds similar to this?

So I really haven’t heard much post-hardcore that I really love other than this album, which is one of my favourite albums of all time. Can anyone recommend something similar, because I’ve always wanted to find more music like this.

Is there any post hardcore bands with a vocalist that has the range of Steve Perry of journey

I’m kinda curious what’s out there chances are I may know the band but it would be interesting to see what vocalists in the scene can match the range of him and what could be like if Steve Perry played post hardcore the dude had incredibly range so no doubt he’d be able to sing this genre of music it seems like Kellin Quinn and Anthony Green seem to get close as I’ve heard a lot of there stuff

Branching out of Post Hardcore‼️

Was anyone else as pretentious growing up and refused to branch out to different genres because we were different and knew we listened to good music compared to the average person?! Admittedly I was that guy haha. I still know so many people who are stuck in the genre and will probably never listen to any other genre unfortunately.

That being said, my question is; what specific artist/band made you realize that it’s okay to branch out of Post Hardcore? Even if it’s a guilty pleasure that you don’t tell anyone, this is a safe place haha. Post hardcore is still my favorite, but I’m glad I have an open mind now when it comes to music.

For me there was 3 artists who I really enjoyed listening to behind closed doors at the time, until I realized it’s okay to listen to other genres and it shouldn’t matter. I know it’s stupid to think like this but I know so many people who judge people for the music they listen to. So much good music out there it’s addicting. So these are the 3 who paved the way for me!

  1. John Mayer- He’s incredibly talented especially on the guitar. Lyrically he’s insane, all of his albums are amazing. To each their own obviously but he’s mainstream and respected for a reason.

  2. Kendrick Lamar- I didn’t care about rap/hiphop until I actually listened to Kendrick. To Pimp a Butterfly was my introduction and immediately became a fan. I didn’t know music could be portrayed like that. His lyrics are very intricate and he knows how to deliver a message, while simultaneously making it catchy.

  3. Sade- Her music is timeless. She’s one of those artists that you hate you never listened to before. Jazzy type music with her soulful voice is the epitome of what music should look like, meaning; I’d show Aliens her music so they know we as humans made something special.

These are just the artists who paved the way for me. Post Hardcore made me love music so I’m thankful I’m able to see music for what it is. It’s art. And how ever you want it to be.

I’m curious to hear everyone out! Drop your experiences and thoughts please 🙏🏾

If you had to choose between listening to bands who have had multiple members and bands who have had no members, what would it be?

Personally for me I gotta go no members but that’s just me
