Protest the Hero 

Protest the Hero is a thrash metal/metalcore/post-harcore/punk band from Whitby, Ontario, Canada. They are made up of Rody Walker(vocals), Arif Mirabdolbaghi(bass, vocals), Luke Hoskin(lead guitar, vocals), Tim Millar(rhythm guitar, vocals) and Moe Carlson(drums). They are a very talented band, judging from the material in their latest release, Kezia. They are not very emo, although it does sound like it sometimes in their music.

Random Poser: This band sucks. It's just a bunch of screaming and junk. Panic! At the Disco and Fall Out Boy are way better.
Me: Poser... Protest the Hero is better than all the bands you listen to. Any GOOD, TALENTED MUSICIAN will tell you that.

Being called emo only by those who have limited or no knowledge about modern musical genres, Protest the Hero is an incredible metal band, however, not in the traditional sense as defined by most metal head fans of bands such as Dragonforce. Nobody is required to enjoy Protest the Hero, but a little respect is the least one could offer to one of the most musically talented groups to come out of Ontario in as long as I can remember.

Dragonforce fan: "Isn't Protest the Hero emo?"

Hunter: "Well they must be if they're selling black sweatshirts - right moron?"

Protest the Hero 

An incredibly talented band from Whitby, Ontario, Canada.

And good fucking god, they are in no way emo. Modern emo is bland, unoriginal, whiny, commercialized shit. These guys deserve some fucking respect.

They are all incredibly talented at what they do. The guitarists can tap/shred at a very high level of playing standards, as well as being able to come up with some very catchy riffs.

The rhythm section comes up with some very intricate, unique ways to back up the songs, and the bassist can do more on his bass than most 'emo' guitarists can play on guitar. He also writes some very good lyrics.

The vocalist has a great range of singing and screaming as well as a great stage presence.

So to summarize: Kick ass band, nothing to do with emo

They don't even deserve a metalcore label because metalcore is again bland and uncreative. These guys play progressive/math metal.

Check out Fortress, the latest album from Protest the Hero. It is worth every pennie.

Protest Shopping 

A Socially Acceptable term for the age old but degrading term LOOTING, which carries negative connotations for those who participate in such activities.

"Yo Ur Honor, I dunno why WE wuz uhrestid fo LOOTIN'...We wuz just doin' a little Protest Shopping, datz all!"

Protest Tourism

The act of attending a protest or direct action for the purpose of documenting signs, checking in on social media platforms, or otherwise being present without the burden of caring about the subject of the protest or being invested in any particular outcome. Not to be confused with being an “ally”.

“Believe me, she’s just doing it for protest tourism. Rebecca does not, in fact, give a rat’s ass about BLM.”

Protest the Hero 

Protest the Hero, sometimes known as PTH, or simply Protest, is a thrash metal/metalcore/post-hardcore/punk (NOT EMO) band from Whitby, Ontario. Their members are Rody Walker (vocals), Arif Mirabdolbaghi (bass, vocals), Luke Hoskin (lead guitar, vocals), Tim Millar (rhythm guitar, vocals) and Moe Carlson (drums). They are a very talented band, and should not be criticized even if people don't like them, they deserve respect. I've heard them being compared to DragonForce, which is ridiculous. DragonForce's guitarists can't even play their own songs live, while Protest the Hero's can, not to mention the band having great stage presence. You don't have to like PTH, but they deserve some respect.

Me: Dude, Protest the Hero is one of the best bands ever!

Musically Retarded Person: Hell no! DragonForce is better!

Me: Right. DragonForce can't even play their own songs live. Protest the Hero is better than that shit.

protest drunk 

When you have to do something you don't want to do so you fully commit to hating it and get very drunk in protest, generally to blackout levels.

"Yeah, he made me watch a movie I didn't want to and after the first scene I knew I was gonna get protest drunk."
