"I'm confused here. In 1995, Portraits of Past was considered a hardcore band/""emo""/etc. Yet the people who created this page claim that modern ""screamo"" bands have no connection to hardcore even if these ""screamo"" bands are playing music that is identical to the mid 90s emo/hardcore sound? Pg 99 steals so much from PoP style. All of this lacks a consistent logic and denies history. It's just as bad as pop-punk and indie rock being tied to the history of the emo/hardcore scene of the 90s. If some of you bother to go through your back issues of HaC, you'll see the term's sparing use as nothing more than hyperbole. ""Chaotic hardcore"" indeed. Need we not forget that Orchid wasn't doing anything that Uranus, Drift, and One Eyed God Prophecy was doing years before? This is just sad.
