Post-Hardcore, or An Exercise in Genre Nebulousness

Not after what they did to them.
Notice how Hot Cross broke up about a month after this video was put out.
Melodic:
This is the first topic about post-hardcore that actually makes the teeniest bit of sense. Like, good job dude. Genres suck and this thread does not.
imapiratearg:
Now that I think about it, that Alesana band you linked to could sound a little like Rites of Spring and Drive Like Jehu put together, if you took away all the talent.
ALoveSupreme:
so, the video didn't work for me... I watched "apology"(?) instead.
...woah, that guy want's to be Dennis Lyxzen sooooo bad.
Actually, I don't mind the "screamed" vocals, I sorta like his ultra-raspy tone.
Anyways....
Hot Cross is pretty great. I always did dig Saetia better, though.
I never figured out where the line crosses from post-hardcore (in the legitimate sense that we are trying to uncover in this thread) and emo (again, in it's more legitimate sense). At least, it always seemed a little vague to me.

That is a really horrible and depressing revelation.
The most annoying thing about this is that THERE ARE A MILLION BANDS OUT THERE THAT SOUND EXACTLY LIKE ALESANA.
I.E.:
*This band, "LoveHateHero". They have had the honor of playing my college like twice, and my school was only founded in 2005, so there's not a whole lot of shows that happen here (I'm actually planning a rad one for those in the California Central Valley area). These guys excel at sucking so hard.
*Enter fucking Shikari. Same "nu-post-hardcore" template with a healthy dose of rave thrown in for good measure. I'm just going to go out and say it: with the notable exception of McLusky and Future of The Left (Untitled Musical Project, you sound way too NME-friendly so you guys don't count), the United Kingdom has no fucking clue how to do Post-Hardcore. I give a sincere plea to any denizen of the UK to prove me wrong. Please. Prove me wrong so hard and make me eat my words with a side order of castor oil or something and I will be forever indebted to you.
Sometimes I just want to take a time machine and destroy the hell out of the master tapes of The Shape of Punk to Come, because as boss as that album was, it's spawned some horrible, horrible music over the last decade. ATD-I's Relationship With A Man (yes I'm calling it that, blame Buddyhead), I'm looking at you too.
