Fascism

Fascism is a right-wing, nationalist, authoritarian, imperialist ideology. Fascists seek a rebirth of a previous empire (e.g. Mussolini and the Roman Empire) by means of conquering other nations and “uniting” an ethnic people, via a strong military (i.e. a military cult). Fascist regimes tend to be led by a strongman leader, usually a dictator but can also be a monarch (e.g. Showa Japan). Fascists usually support a heavily centralized private economy but fascists can also be economically left (NazBol) or economically right (NazCap)

Post-Hardcore

A genre of punk rock that focuses on expanding beyond the musical boundaries of hardcore punk. Post-hardcore usually has more melodic and complex arrangements than hardcore. In other words, post-hardcore is to hardcore what post-punk is to punk.
It was pioneered in the eighties by bands like Minutemen, Naked Raygun, and the Effigies. It gained mainstream popularity along with its emo subgenre in the late '90s and early '00s, with bands like Rise Against, My Chemical Romance, and At The Drive-In.
A foundational post-hardcore record is My War by Black Flag

Emo

Emo is a genre of post-hardcore and alternative rock with more melancholy arrangements and more emotionally driven themes. The name of the genre is a shortening of Emocore which itself is a shortening of Emotional Hardcore. The genre is also known for its expansive subculture, which is associated black clothing, long dyed hair, black eyeliner, bangs, and white makeup.
Emo is often mistakenly conflated with Gothic Rock, Pop Punk, Melodic Hardcore, Alternative Metal, and Shoegaze.
