Postcore

... the genre complex also known as post hardcore by some philistines. Think of anything smart, elaborate and artsy to have ever come out of the hardcore scene like, say, '80s & '90s Dischord groups. Math rock and -core. Oldschool emocore and anything adjacent to any of these. Whatever else fits in there somehow. It may have overlaps with genres like post punk and noise rock. Hard to distinguish in many cases anyway. Post old and new stuff. Let's not be too pedantic over genre definitions. One rule though: please keep it distinct from screamo and metalcore stuff, as there are already better suited communities existing for these genres.

Now here's some brilliant shit i've been totally unprepared for, certainly having a mind of its own and being delightfully out of touch with the zeitgeist! Sure, the whole thing feels kinda old. I'm kinda old too, so i like that. Imagine the likes of Saccharine Trust, Minutemen, Swell Maps and The Pop Group partaking in an occult ritual to conjure up an ancient '60s acid rock demon, an unholy crossbreed of psych- and math rock. This is quite terribly self-indulgent of course, but that aspect kinda comes with both of those genres, i guess. At this point i'm pretty sure you've already made up your mind about it and know if you're gonna love or hate it. In my humble opinion, what the Philadelphia group hallucinates up here is pretty fucking swell and totally should be legalized!
