post-hardcore 

A musical genre that often goes hand in hand with screamo, metalcore and hardcore punk. A main feature of the genre is the contrast of melodic and/or emotional singing with screaming, and sometimes other vocal styles, like whispering, yelling, etc. Fast-paced hardcore/thrash metal guitar riffs and high-pitched, heartfelt melodies are another example of the contrast commonly used within this genre. Kind of like a mixture of emo and thrash.
Some good examples of post-hardcore are:
From Autumn to Ashes
Thursday
My Chemical Romance (on their first album)
Glassjaw
Alesana
Haste the Day
Underoath
Atreyu

Post-Hardcore evolved from hardcore punk.

post-hardcore 

a genre of music that is much like hardcore. it has a different style though, where it will be heavy then have a melodic breakdown.Also they scream much more than hardcore. Newer hardcore screams to but people who only like oldschool hardcore say thats fake hardcore.SO,post-hardcore consists of poety like lyrics, melodic break downs, emo choruses, and usually a emo-scene crowd.

some post-hardcore bands
off the top of my head:

fear before the march of flames
new underoath
glassjaw
chiodos
emery
scary kids scaring kids
older from autumn to ashes

Post-Hardcore 

When Hardcore and Punk mixed. Making the sound of Hardcore at some parts then slowing down for more punk parts with singing, not screaming. A band called "Refused" experimented with this. They were a Hardcore band. With the release of "The Shape Of Punk To Come" By "Refused" is when Post-hardcore was born. They thought they were changing punk, when they made a new genre. Doesn't confuse this with emo, or screamo.

Some Post-Hardcore bands are: Refused
Bear VS. Shark
