Melodic Hardcore

Melodic Hardcore is a subgenre of Hardcore Punk. As the name suggest it is more melodic than traditional hardcore, with less aggression. Melodic Hardcore, with its strong emphasis on melodic exploration (melody), is distinct from both Emocore and Pop-Punk, although these genres are often combined or used interchangeably, though doing so wouldn’t make much sense.

Hey guys lets all just say it's a good genre instead of making fools oughta yourselves like saying "Metalcore is like a mix between new (not nu) metal and old metal." Because that just makes you sound like a moron. :)

"melodic harcore is melodic hardcore! ... not (pop) punk ... whats the problem? and metalcore is a mix between hardore and metal ..." No. Holy shit, no. Metalcore is like a mix between new (not nu) metal and old metal. There is such a thing as Metallic Hardcore, i.e. Sick of it All, Hatebreed, Madball, and shit like that.

How are people saying that melodic hardcore isn't a genre? Of course it's a genre you tards. Bands are so different now, well, most bands sound the same nowadays, but there's plenty of bands pushing the borders of genres which forces us to come up with a legitmate subgenre. Melodic Hardcore is legitamite. Beardcore and Orgcore are not. You can't just classify a band like The Carrier or Ambitions as just hardcore. Melodic Hardcore is an awesome genre. Probably my favorite. [2]

it's really difficult to set the borders in this genre, because there are alot of bands that have classical hardcore punk roots like strung out and ignite with influence from the first wave of hardcore punk like black flag and the dead kennedys but don't seem very "hardcoreish" compared to newer bands like The Carrier, Comeback Kid and stuff. But as long as there is no greenday on this page i think everything is okay :)
