post-hardcore

Post-hardcore is a music genre that evolved from hardcore punk, blending the raw energy and intensity of punk with more complex melodies, song structures, and emotional expression. It often features aggressive guitar riffs, dynamic shifts in volume, and expressive vocals, ranging from shouting to singing. Unlike traditional hardcore, it explores a broader range of sounds and moods, allowing for more experimental and layered compositions. The genre emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s, influencing alternative and indie scenes, and is known for its emphasis on emotional depth and artistic innovation within a rock framework.
