Alone in a crowd, but we're still standing strong
With X'ed up fists and sing alongs
Times like these are what we live for
These days are more than we'd ever hoped for

We're still here, and we'll never forget the words we said
Time flies by, and the promises made will stay with us
Through our lives

But still our hearts are true to promises kept Sony ericsson total tool v1.90.

Melodic hardcore is a broadly defined subgenre of hardcore punk with a strong emphasis on melody in its guitar work. It generally incorporates fast rhythms, melodic and often distorted guitar riffs, and vocal styles tending towards shouting and screaming. Nevertheless, the genre has been very diverse, with different bands showcasing very different styles. Many pioneering melodic hardcore bands (such as Bad Religion and Descendents), have proven influential across the spectrum of punk rock, as well as rock music more generally. The term 'melodic punk' is often used to describe both melodic hardcore and skate punk bands.^[1]

2History

Characteristics[edit]

Melodic hardcore is broadly defined, however generally incorporates fast rhythms, melodic and often distorted guitar riffs, and vocal styles tending towards shouting and screaming. Many notable bands, such as Dag Nasty and Lifetime use minor interval chords on guitar, such as minor ninth and seventh chords, as well as fifth or ninth harmonies on vocals. Many groups also drop tune their instruments. Tempos commonly range from 180 to 210 beats per minute, with very few bands ranging outside of a 4/4 time signature.^{[citation needed]}

Many modern melodic hardcore bands are incorporating elements of melodic hardcore and emo, relying more heavily upon melody than their hardcore punk predecessors.^[2]^[3] There are also bands take influence from post-hardcore and melodic metalcore.^[4]^[5] Canadian melodic hardcore heavyweights Comeback Kid put out their 6th full length 'Outsider' in 2017 after being in the scene for 17 years.^[6] In this album, Comeback Kid are collaborating fast and furious thrash metal Slayer-esque riffs, 90's punk and grunge flavors and tight and bouncy melodic hardcore rhythms to bring new energy to the modern melodic hardcore scene.^[7]

As modern melodic hardcore diverges into one more metalcore leaning track as well as one more emotive track, terms such as 'melodic emotive hardcore' and 'melodic metallic hardcore' have been suggested to distinguish modern melodic hardcore bands with different sounds that still fall into the same genre.^[2] Bands such as the Ghost Inside, Blood Youth, Climates, and Hundredth, have been described as both metalcore and melodic hardcore while While She Sleeps is also considered as merging melodic hardcore elements with metalcore.^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]Casey, La Dispute and Being as an Ocean, who are active in the modern melodic hardcore scene, incorporate elements of post-rock/post-black metal and/or spoken word into their music.^[16]^[17]^[18]^[19]^[20]

History[edit]

Descendents were a key influence on both melodic hardcore and pop punk in the 1980s.

Original development (1980s–1990s)[edit]

The earliest melodic hardcore emerged from the Californian hardcore punk scene by the early 1980s. This includes Descendents, who formed in 1978. Their earliest work was simple, pop-influenced punk rock, but they went on to mix this melodic approach with hardcore, inspiring both melodic hardcore and pop punk groups.^[21]Bad Religion, who formed in Los Angeles in 1979, played in a somewhat similar vein, but their approach was more 'angry' and politically charged.^[22] They recorded their debut album, How Could Hell Be Any Worse?, in 1981.^[23]

The Faith's 1983 EP Subject to Change is thought of as one of the first melodic hardcore records, as significant as the music of Bad Religion or the Descendents.^[24] On the release, the band added and moved away from the more straightforward hardcore punk of their earlier work towards a more complex, textured, and melodic sound, accompanied by introspective lyrics; the release is notable for its influence on post-hardcore.^[25]

Dag Nasty are a key melodic hardcore band^[26] that formed during the mid-1980s as part of the Washington, D.C. hardcore scene, with Brian Baker (ex-Minor Threat) on guitar. In 1988, the band All formed, featuring three members of the now disbanded Descendents. The band made music in a broadly similar vein to the Descendents, and were initially fronted by Dave Smalley of Dag Nasty.^[23]Gorilla Biscuits came out of the late 1980s New York hardcore scene, and played a melodic form of the hardcore subgenre known as youth crew. Youth crew itself takes a lot of influence from 7 Seconds, who ventured into melodic hardcore on albums such as The Crew. Turning Point, a New Jersey hardcore band, also emerged from the youth crew movement, but their later material moved towards melodic hardcore, with more complex music and introspective lyrics.^[27]

In 1994, H₂O formed, mixing melodic elements of Washington D.C. with New York & California hardcore punk. Lifetime was a notable emo group whose sound drew heavily on pop punk and melodic hardcore.^[28] Along with other melodic hardcore groups, they had much influence on subsequent pop punk, including bands such as Fall Out Boy and Saves the Day.^[29]^[30] When Lifetime broke up, some of their members formed Kid Dynamite.^[31] During the 1990s, the 'Epi-Fat' sound (a variant of skate punk named after the labels that housed its key bands, Epitaph Records and Fat Wreck Chords) was popular, and key bands such as NOFX, Pennywise and Strung Out bordered on melodic hardcore influenced by the likes of Descendents and Bad Religion.^[32]^[33]^[34]^[35]

Rise Against, formed in 1999, achieved widespread success by 2004.
