I'd probably go with Senses Fail as the best Post-Hardcore band. I know some people would throw some of these bands into Real Emo or Mall Emo or some other genre, but all of them have roots from hardcore or early post-hardcore.

As an old doom metal fan, I think Candlemass definitely always belongs at the top of that list (even if they aren't someone's favorite Doom band, it is impossible to deny their dominance of the genre). I will say I also somewhat agree with your assessment of Doom. I am not as critical of it as you (there are definitely a lot of Doom bands I like), but I find I usually gravitate primarily to those earlier Doom metal bands like Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus and Cathedral (as well as some of the proto doom bands). But after that, the genre crystalizes into something that captures much of the mood these bands were shooting for, while also losing any of my the attention these earlier bands were able to command. Also the subgenres of Doom got quite silly in my opinion. Not saying there aren't later bands I like, I do. But there is a lot that I can only listen to about a minute of before needing more variation. For me, the three I mentioned are all noteworthy for a variety of reasons. Candlemass you have covered, but they just had a real ear for songwriting, brought these operatic vocals that didn't veer into power metal territory (at least not in my opinion) and they had a sense of humor too. Plus they actually covered a lot of topics. Graves and gloom was part of that, but there was more (and they honestly tackled graves and gloom way better than later bands IMO, as you can see in a song like Epistle No. 81. Solitude Aeturnus is my favorite Doom metal band and a lot of it is the powerful and clean vocals of Robert Lowe, as well as the overall aesthetic of their melodies and chord progressions. Plus they got more into Christian themes, without being like Petra or Stryper. And they knew how to throw in very interesting harmonies on power chords that gave the songs a nice color. Cathedral I like because of Forest Equilibrium. I had many of their later albums and EPs (I particularly liked the Soul Sacrifice EP), but it is their debut that won me over. It is so slow, but within that they are able to find enormous variation and sound. I remember learning one of their songs very early on guitar and while it doesn't sound complex, it is surprisingly so. This was maybe the slowest album I had heard. But they had the good sense to not commit to that and to change up their sound after (I think they understood it would start to sound the same if they did it across all their albums). And I think that is sometimes the problem with doom that comes after this classic period: it very much has a tendency to sound the same. It often has a lot of high level technical skill and sound engineering skill, but it can be hard for me to really pick out individual songs as the genre advanced.

@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 If you don't like a genre, you don't like a genre. The beauty of early doom is it had so much variety (I don't listen to a lot of newer doom because that variety seems less prevalent). What sucks about metal genres often is they sound so narrow in their aesthetic. Early doom you had stuff like Saint Vitus, Candlemass, Trouble, Solitude Aeturnus, etc. It may have been one of those 'you had to be there' things. But I remember being in a band and discovering doom in the late 80s early 90s. It was still a heavy genre, but did a lot of interesting things. It tended to be slower, still heavy, more sabbath inspired, often had apocalyptic, religious or philosophical lyrics. What was impressive about Forest Equilibrium was how slow it was, yet still melodic despite some really strange use of chromatic, even atonal approaches at times. I remember learning one of their songs on guitar and being very surprised how more involved the composition was than it sounded.

As those two bands seems to be the pioneers of popularizing if not inventing the genre, it REALLY makes me wonder who their influences were, as it clearly had to be something similar. When you consider when those bands dropped, they were very ahead of the curve & changed rock music forever. I'd go as far as saying it was the beginning of the end for Nu-Metal, while we were still getting great newer Nu-Metal bands like Linkin Park or Disturbed, System of a Down, Slipknot, Chimera etc, only a few years later would the gate keepers push the heaviness out of the mainstream radio in favor of what I call "post nu-metal" bands like Breaking Benjamin & all that (watered down, safe-generic bands imo) which in turn violently shoved all of us into bands like Poison the Well & the likes. That was the moment people were forced to venture into underground music, thus starting the beginning of the end of mainstream rock. While we can also mention the hipster crab mentality, I believe it was THIS moment that actually popularized/normalized it. People were jaded & began to vehemently loathe anything remotely commercial. The mainstream machine absolutely created that monster. Wow that turned into a lot more than I expected tbh lol I guess I wanted to write it out as I don't really see people talking about it & I think it's a significant oversight in terms of rock music history...

Poison The Well are definitely Metalcore and would be in my Top Tier of Metalcore bands together with Converge (you can also call me Mathcore) and others.Thursday is a great pick. At The Drive In or Quicksand i could also choose for Post Hardcore.

Finn I agree with your take on Sublime. The fact yoh dislike doom/sludge snd like emo/pop punk rattles my cage though. Solid list all in all though. My picks Emo-Mallcore: NOFX...sry Fatmike kek. Deathmetal: Bolt Thrower Ska: Can we do Proto? If we can I am going with The English Beat otherwise Id back you on Sublime. Doom: Electric Wizard hands down. Black Metal: Emperor...with you there. They slay. Trv Kvlt Shoegaze: Duster...BUT hear me out. Title Fights last album was basically a post punk shoegaze album and it was good. Just sayin' Metalcore: Unearth...but yeah Killswitch...Kind of hard to argue Killswitch.

I loved hearing your thoughts on music genres. Hopefully in the next installment, we'll get to hear who you think is the best Soundcloud/EmoRap artist. My pick will always be Lil Lotus, mostly because he's the one who made me enjoy, discover, and appreciate the genre as a whole, and I have you to thank for that. The only reason I discovered Lil Lotus and If I Die First was because of your videos, so thank you.

Agreed on FOB, Love Promise ring and they had they re shot (so happy) but J.E.W. Wins. I still have all My 7 Inches, and it’s so amazing how far they have come. (Met three times) and got to play along them on the Kevin Says stage right when Bleed American Came out. ( have that first press too lol). I thought You would say Cap n Jazz, or Rites of Spring, maybe even My second pick Jawbreaker. They were so gateway and got lost in the grunge era. Green Day made it though! lol. I was just a guitarist in South Florida playing with Shai Hulud, Nonpoint, Hot water Music, Bouncing Souls, Dashboard Confessional and all his previous bands I.e Vacant Andy’s, New found Glory, poison the well, Destro, piebald,and the list goes on. Craziest show I’ve played was in West Palm Beach with this band on island records called Sum 41. They Destroyed us and made Us get entertainment Lawyers and so Much advise! out of all of us the only Guy that “made it” was our bass player Michael Orlando who is the singer of Vampires Everywhere. I’m running away from this video after You trashed Fugazi! What happened to You!?

Best in every subgenre should be MGK, as he is an artistic visionary who encompasses all genres of music. Sublime? No, MGK rules ska punk. Nirvana? No, MGK rules grunge. BTS? No, MGK rules K-pop.

Millenial men are lost and aimless. We NEED structure. And thats why these 'wikipedia entry' style videos do so good. It's tapping into our subconcious need for structure. Its the same reason people (millenial men) want fantano to do. 'Classic reviews DUDE REVIEW SOME CLASSICS REVIEW KING CRIMSON OOOOO' Also this kind of content is very easy to comsume its not like trying to listen to 'challenging music' ala swans throbbing Gristle etc you can just sit back and watch without thinking too much I'm no better YOU NEED STRUCTURE BOY

Highly unexpected with FOB. I think TBS has such a chokehold on the early '00s Millennial experience. Tell All Your Friends is up there with Through Being Cool as a GOAT pop punk, "fake emo" album. Hell - they even featured TBS playing MakeDamnSure on Degrassi Next Generation. I guess I can respect FOB as an answer, or MCR as an answer -- at least you didn't pull out something much more niche like Boys Night Out or Orange Island or something.

FINN IS LIKE THE TEACHER THAT TRICKED YOU INTO LEARNING SOMETHING WHEN THE CLASS THOUGH THEY WERE JUST PLAYING A FUN GAME… and i genuinely feel bad for the guys that try and seriously critique him because he commits the sin of enjoying well produced music… and he’s still nicer to them, then they deserve. Been with you a long time and Bridge 9 is still my favorite bridge… still haven’t heard them though just a fan if the bridge.
