It all starts with punk rock, see, and rock 'n roll. From rock 'n roll spawned a style of music called "hard rock" which is basically rock 'n roll but deeper. When hard rock is blended with punk rock, we get hardcore rock which essentially pre-emo punk rock with heavier rhythms. Also spawning from rock 'n roll and classical music we get metal. Now, when we blend hardcore with metal, we get "metalcore" which is hardcore but with harmony elements and the occassional guitar solo. Now it gets complicated. When we blend hard rock with metal, we get thrash metal. If we take thrash metal, add some more emo and myspace, and blend it with hardcore rock, we get "post hardcore" which can very very easily be confused with screamo. The main difference between post hardcore and screamo is that in post hardcore, the singer still "sings" but doesn't go into a crying fit at some point during the song. Now, there is one more style that is left un-discussed. A style called "hXc'mo" (prounounced "aytch ex see mo". I'm not quite sure, but I think that hXc'mo is the product of blending screamo and post hardcore...that's the only logical way I can figure this shit out.

Think Every Time I Die. Combine with an angry Dashboard Confessional, and you're pretty much there.
It's watered down hardcore, okay? IT'S NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

ok, post hardcore kids are definitely NOT emo. they are kind of like hardcore kids, but not as hardcore...for lack of a better word. they listen to more melodic hardcore music. but that doesn't mean that they can't listen to hardcore music too. also, there's no set style for a post hardcore kid. they can wear whatever. its only a genre of music. hardcore is a style though.

A Post-Hardcore kid is a teenager who listens to alot of "core" music, especially "Post-Hardcore". They are definite about their character, and they dont really follow a basic trend. They don't "Hardcore Dance", put on make-up, wear EXTREMELY tight pants, and they definitely don't say they are "bisexual" just because everybody else is. They like to be themselves. Although they listen to alot of "scene" music, they are not scene. They do wear skinny jeans (but not excruciatingly tight ones), usually vans, band tees or graphic tees, and maybe sometimes they straighten their hair. So I 'guess' they do basically follow a trend, but not as much as "scenesters" or "hardcore kids". Yes, they might listen to more heavy music like "Emmure" or "Suicide Silence" sometimes, but they don't quickly label themselves. That's another thing. They don't label themselves. They wear and do what they want. So basically I don't know why I just labeled them as a "Post- Hardcore" kid. They don't really have name. (I just need something for the title) They like the bands for the music, not the screaming, not for the popularity, or not for just ONE song.
There really only a few of "these kids".

a post hardcore kid is an emo kid who hates other emo kids. they refuse to believe that they themselves are emo even though they adhere strictly to the emo stereotype
Post hardcore kid 1: OMG that guy is such an emo fag
Post hardcore kid 2: yeah he even has the same shoes as you...
