A new extreme
The year is 2007, and a couple of teenagers and young adults formed many bands inspired by the early 2000s and 90s post-hardcore. If you don’t know what post-hardcore is, its hardcore punk music mixed with jazz, blues, pop, metal, and other genres. Bands such as Touché Amoré, Defeater, La Dispute, Make Do and Mend and Pianos Become The Teeth started the new waves. Bringing past decades’ spirit to younger audiences. As these bands rekindled the greatest in the genre, others took it too far.
A couple of bands incorporated hip-hop, dubstep, and synthetizers with heavy guitar riffs and screaming.
