message: I guess there just has to be one or else the part on Tom Delonge has to go, it's not like the guy is bringing them from obscurity or something. We need some sources (arguing whether or not they and their stage antics were important for "emotional hardcore" and in what time span) and then GO!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.229.69.41 (talk) 11:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Does it make any sense that Rites of Spring, mainly a hardcore band part of the hardcore scene, while it was alive,should be labeled POST-hardcore??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.222.150.244 (talk • contribs) 01:59, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You should note that the very first sentence of the "Band history" section has a reference to a reliable source that classifies the band as post-hardcore. I'm actually holding that book in my hands right now, and this is an accurate descriptor as Rites of Spring were part of the "Revolution Summer", an deliberate attempt by members of the DC hardcore scene to break away from hardcore and start something new (hence "post-hardcore"). Fortunately, Wikipedia holds verifiability through reliable sources in much higher esteem than the editors' own opinions. --IllaZilla (talk) 02:33, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Not really. The late '70s were the initial punk rock phase. Hardcore came about in the early '80s. Numerous reliable sources back this up, but you can easily get a sense of it just by looking at when the key bands were active and when the significant albums came out (90% of them were early-'80s). Although some bands in the '80s did signify a breaking away from punk/hardcore, this is more often recognized as the roots of indie rock and alternative rock; The term "post-hardcore" didn't get bandied about until the '90s, and today is a catchall term with almost no meaning, basically indistinguishable from "alternative rock". For good reading on the subject, I recommend starting with American Hardcore: A Tribal History and Our Band Could Be Your Life. --IllaZilla (talk) 18:46, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't Embrace be included? Besides the fact that one member of embrace and a three from ROS formed a band, they were both (technically) the "forerunners" of the term emocore/emo hardcore.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.228.30.55 (talk) 04:56, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
