myspace hardcore

A genre which is the blend of melodic hardcore, early metallic hardcore and some post-hardcore. It usually has metallic hardcore riffs oftentimes influenced by early metalcore bands such as Earth Crisis, Visions of Disorder or Poison the Well, melodic choruses and the occasional dissonant chords. It makes heavy use of screamed vocals, although shouting, cleans and gang vocals are also prominent. The genre gets it's name from it's popularity on sites such as MySpace.

Examples of MySpace Hardcore: Evergreen Terrace, later Comeback Kid, Arrow Minds (an especially modern example), A Dozen Furies (very ATG infused example)
