What killed post hardcore?? Back in the 2000s, bands like AFI and Thursday went to the top of the charts, with a new crop of post-hardcore bands like Taking Back Sunday, The Used and Underoath and finally Chiodos, Of Mice & Men, Sleeping With Sirens and the rest of their cohort following close behind.
That crop of post-hardcore bands (the "boy bands with breakdowns" bands) crushed it, with several of them going to the Billboard top 10-- and then suddenly they fell off, with their sales and relevance a fraction of what it once was. So what happened??
A few of the things I touch on:
- The OG post-hardcore bands like Quicksand, Dag Nasty, Texas Is The Reason, and Farside
- The "real post-hardcore" bands like AFI, Thursday, and Senses Fail
- The "mall screamo explosion" bands like From First To Last, Underoath, Taking Back Sunday, The Used and Saosin
- The peak of post-hardcore with Of Mice & Men, Sleeping With Sirens, We Came As Romans, The Word Alive and Chiodos
- Why the scene became full of gross, phony people who wanted to be famous and ultimately collapsed on itself
- How its collapse fueled the rise of a new crop of real hardcore bands like Knocked Loose, Code Orange, Turnstile, and Angel Du$t
