i got some extra info to give on this! first off, easycore comes from an old school new found glory shirt from 1999/2000 ish. NFG has easycore songs with breakdowns dating back to their first releases, namely youve got a friend in Pennsylvania. Chad knows about easycore and its influence, he actually invented the term because new found glory were all hardcore dudes playing pop punk! amazing video as always man!

the elements of easycore live on through the new wave of midwest emo. bands like Pinegrove and Mom Jeans. made it pretty and threw in some country elements but it’s got the gang vocals (singing) and the summer stuff.

Unlike what many people ,ight believe Four Year Strong weren't done with In Some Way Shape or Form. Yeah there was this self titled and Some of You Will Like This, Some of You Will Not period, which was... Interesting, but they brought easycore back in huge way with their 2020 record Brain Pain, and even this years analysis paralysis was more core than easy. And there are some bands going into easycore sound from other genres, like new Belmont album is undeniably easycore, even though they started as a math/pop-punk.

Awesome video! Not sure if they are technically easycore but I’ve never been good with genres anyway but action/adventure is a great band keeping the beautiful combination of pop punk and breakdown alive. I see them everytime they play a hometown show. Also if you haven’t checked out wolf rd there first EP “nowhere around you” has some solid easycore tracks.

Fall Out Boy’s Take this to your grave album definitely laid some groundwork as kinda Protoeasycore imo. It has gangvocals, screaming, breakdowns, and silly song titles lol. Wouldn’t fully count them as I don’t think the sound had quite gelled yet but def an important step that led to easy core.
