Get the post hardcore kid mug.
Self righteous, ray ban wearing, hair slicking, elitists in a music scene, who see themselves as superior to everyone around them. Generally, they don't play in bands, or if they did it was several years ago and they are resting on the laurels of their mediocre success. See everyone around them as inferior and fake, despite the likelihood that the people they are targeting are more genuine than the Post-Hardcore Kid. The kind of pompous shit heads that taint music scenes.
Post-Hardcore Kid:

You don't like (insert band here) you're a fucking poser

Kid:

Uh ok

a person who won't admit they're emo so covers it up with an even more vague genre of self-pity music for those in a suburban 1st world culture with nothing to complain about, yet still feel bad for themselves. post hardcore indie music is actually emo.
18 year old male, tight jeans(cock visible), chuck taylors, interested in bands such as: as i lay dying, cradle of filth, underoath, velvet acid christ, dimmu borgir. post hardcore indie is all of the above.

A genre combining the artsy sensibilities of post-punk with the general energy of hardcore punk. Vocals can vary wildly, from cleans to screams to even death growls (do keep in mind that death growls aren't really part of the original scene). Later on, many post-hardcore bands would add influences from pop punk, metalcore or even melodic death metal.

Several genres would evolve from post-hardcore over time, such as emo and it's derivatives such as screamo and emo-pop, or mathcore, which is a combination of math rock and post-hardcore. Many melodic metalcore bands also have post-hardcore sensibilities.

Also, the best genre known to man
Original bands: Nomeansno, Fugazi, At the Drive-In, Minutemen
Modern post-hardcore: The Used, The Fall of Troy (notable for probably being the most ATDI influenced modern post-hxc act), Thrice, Saosin, Aiden
Metalcore/post-hardcore hybrids: Poison the Well, Glassjaw, Thrice (their older material), Alesana, Atreyu, 36 Crazyfists, Nothingface (notable for being one of the most post-hxc and metalcore infused early nu metal acts), Escape the Fate, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, Enter Shikari (notable for being the first trancecore band)
