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

Get the Hardcoremug. 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
