Post-Hardcore

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
