Post-Hardcore

Post-hardcore, as the name might suggest, is a musical offshoot of the hardcore punk movement. The earliest appearances of the genre were in Washington, D.C. in the mid- to late-1980s (see the era's releases on Dischord Records, for example), though it was not widely known until the early 1990s. Post-hardcore, as a musical genre, is marked by its precise rhythms and loud guitar-based instrumentation accompanied by vocal performances that are as often sung as whispered or shouted. The genre has developed a unique balance of dissonance and melody, in part channeling the loud and fast hardcore ethos into more measured, subtle forms of tension and release. It shares with its hardcore roots an intensity and social awareness as well as a DIY punk ethic, yet eschews much of the unfocused rage and loose, sometimes amatuerish musicianship of punk rock.

Side note: Everyone bitches about My Chemical Romance being 'emo' but MCR fits more into the Post-Hardcore catogory than anything.

Some cool post-hardcore bands are: Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu, Moss Icon and Jimmy Eat World

post up

A phrase commonly used by hipsters to indicate that they want to lean against (or 'post up') against a wall, preferably brick, to smoke a cigarette or drink a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Hipsters are led to believe that this is the cool thing to do. If there's no cigarette in hand, some hipsters replace the void with a can of PBR, the well known hipster beer. If they have nothing in hand, they fail at properly being a hipster. Generally, if caught in this scene, the hipsters would lift one leg up and rest the sole of their shoe against the side of the wall, completing their "cool" appearance. When suggested to 'post up,' a fellow hipster knows exactly what he/she is talking about and will usually agree to. It's the hipster thing to do.

Victor: Hey man, let's post up.
RJ: Alright man, let me grab my cigarettes.
Allen: Guys, I quit smoking.
Victor: Don't worry about it man, you can still post up with this can of PBR.

Post-Grunge

A made-up music genre created by bored moronic suit and ties at record labels, radio stations, and MTV so that everyone can clamor on to another phony genre.
Bands like Three Doors Down, Hinder, Nickelback, Creed, Saliva, Three Days Grace, Godsmack, etc. all use the word to avoid being called metal, which they really are, but a really bad, sucky dumbed down version of it.

Hinder is not a Post-grunge band, but a hair band without the hair
Godsmack is not a post-grunge band, but a metal band with their instruments tuned down.
Daughty not a post-grunge band, but a Bon Jovi/Nickelback wanna-be.
Nickelback is not a post-grunge band, but a Bon Jovi Wanna-be.
Post-grunge is genre that doesn't exist.
