"Hardcore post-punk" works for bands like Fugazi, The Jesus Lizard, Big Black and Slint, along with many others. Those I understand the post-hardcore tag.

Close! It's post-hardcore punk. ๐
Most post-hardcore bands take the energy from hardcore punk bands (Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains) and combine it with elements from other genres like experimental rock, post punk, etc. I've always considered it more melodic than hardcore punk.

This is an excellent definition.
Also, it's kind of funny you metioned emo in your initial post rayword, since post-hardcore had one of the first, if not the first, emo band in Rites of Spring, whose lead singer Guy Picciotto was also in Fugazi. They're only album is excellent. But really, post-hardcore is in a lot of ways a more experimental version of hardcore. It's often not as fast and the vocals aren't always a scream (that's not a knock against hardcore though). It's a genre that just ecompases a lot of bands and a lot of sounds. For example, Dismemberment Plan and Fugazi are both labeled Post-Hardcore, but they sound very little a like.

And then all those Rise Records bands that have the same label?
When I use emo as a pejorative, I think modern emo music. I wouldn't compare Sunny Day Real Estate or Rites of Spring to anything teenage goth chicks today listen to.

Those bands are partially influenced by post-hardcore bands like Refused and At the Drive-In, so they experience hardcore-punk secondhand; however, they replace the post-punk or experimental aspects with metal breakdowns and pop punk choruses. The energy is still there, but it's more Metallica than Wire.

JMan needs to do genre based custom charts. Without getting informed about the genres first, just going by his idea of them.
It would be the best thing ever.
