It's Post Hardcore Era!

Today is a post-hardcore genre of music era! People are stunned with this type of music nowadays! There are plenty of bands that exist in post-hardcore genre, whether international or local. The international bands such as Fugazi, Alexisonfire, Funeral For A Friend, At The Drive-In, Saosin, and plenty other bands from another country, are starting to make their band with post-hardcore genre. Also, those of the band has been the icon of post-hardcore itself to be a “different” icons for the teenage.

Well every era, has to be something to be dominate, like in the 1990’s era when Grunge are “exploding” in public with the existence of Nirvana, in Rock music industry. But is it post-hardcore, now could be as the same position as Grunge in the 1990’s? Well it could be happened if this genre is getting more and more popular to be listened and also watched.

The happening of post-hardcore genre in world’s music industry, has made the “indie” type of bands were getting more exist in the world. Their scream and whispered type of vocal, seems dominated the ear of teenagers in 2000’s. That is proven by the popularity of MySpace.com, purevolume.com, and other webzine that exist in indie scene in most of Western and Eastern countries, which are filled with the people with their interest in “cutting age” music’s. Their users are often writes at least one post-hardcore band in their favorite music (including me!). This phenomenon seems to be very happening and also beneficial to some media.

Most of my friend at school accepting that they like the post-hardcore, emo, metal, and other hardcore genre of music. Not only the boys, but some girls also have some interest about these genres. I wonder why people today are excited with “cutting edge” music’s? Is it because the media itself who dominated the scene, or maybe people today who like some kind of “distortion” in their life, which are represented with songs. Well, it looks like that every era must have the “different” scene that is dominating some people (which most of them are teenagers) that is connected with some type of lifestyle or interest in music. And they are also proud of it! Like the Metal happening in the 80’s, has absorbed many people who have interest in metal, hand made a lot of communities in their state and places. The genre of music that some point of views said that is full of contradictive, has also been a phenomenon genre until today.

Otherwise, the post-hardcore genre itself seems to be dominated by the independent scene. It’s truly worth! The dynamic and the “happening” of the independent scene in “cutting edge” music seems has influenced the development of “cutting edge” music itself. The culture that is based from the punk Do It Yourself (DIY) showed their true connection between the scenes itself and the psychology of teens, which interest in the innovative of lifestyle and culture dynamic. The media also supports new record labels, local or international to release their albums in “cutting age music” which is very supportive in indie scene in the world. They are seems to making their own market to the public.

Well, there has to be something that dominates every era because of the development of human (teenage, especially), and also the information technology. In this “pop” era, looks like everything’s are being “instant” to exist in the world. People can take reference from every thing, everyone, and anywhere they want, and act from what they want! In this era, only people who is innovative and creative who could rule the world!

Post Hardcore is one type of genre who has done it!
