post-hardcore

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

The teacher talking to you nicely saying to you to do your god damn work now.
The word "So I've seen parts of your, just make sure you post it into google classroom ok?" is used whenever a teacher wants you to do your work right now so you at least get a C for your school report so you don't have to talk to your parents about it with them.

post high

Another way of calling someone conceited, snobby or uppity. Describes someone who believes they are better than someone else. There's a verse from Black Moon's "Who Got Da Props" that uses the term:

"See I paid my dues, now you can't tell me nothing
This is dedicated to the ones who kept fronting
The ones who tried to diss and post high? Oh no
Just 'cause you had low, see now I got dough
Abbott: Hey, look at my new Mercedes. Sure beats that hooptie you drive around in.
Costello: Oh, so you tryin' to post high, like you all that? We both know yo' ass is on food stamps!
