Oh and btw considering all the scene kids has tagged all their beloved screamo with post-hardcore, they're now starting to tag their bands as post-metal to make them seem different from the general bullshit. Which it aint. I mean wtf, dead by april being post-metal? It'll be post metal the day I can shit myself rich.
