I added a distinction between melodic-metal core and Hard-core.

I find it useless. They are like day and night. by Geekermo.

I'd say that Husker Du is post hardcore... which sits niceley between emo and melodic hardcore.

It may be a good idea to make the distinction between Melodic Hardcore and Melodic/Hardcore. I personally found it rather confusing.

[edit] Husker Du?

Maybe I'm way off..but...Husker Du is barely a punk band. Can they really be considered a melodic hardcore band???

Not really, they are post-hardcore...New Wave some may say. They started the emo thing. by Geekermo.

Husker Du was definitely a punk band, at least up to Flip Your Wig, and arguably beyond that. Their early work is hardcore, and circa Zen Arcade they could certainly be classified as a melodic hardcore band. Nick 03:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Husker Du was a punk rock band through the 1980s. With the more melodic aspect that emerged in their sound, they basically helped create alternative rock. There's many references for this. However, please provide one that describes them as a part of this "melodic hardcore" genre. WesleyDodds 22:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hopesfall

they are certainly melodic hardcore during the no wings to speak of/satellite years era?

[edit] Strung Out, Willhelm Scream & The Killing Tree removal

Come on guys, they are not melodic hardcore. NO WAY, NO. First know the roots and then edit the article, please. by Geekermo.

[edit] i dont understand how all these bands are melodic hardcore

theyy all dress simlar and have a similar apearance yes, but how does new found glory and anti flag fit into melodic hardcore i mean you got stuff like the gorilla biscuits and rise against then you have new found glory ?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.37.156.131 (talk) 23:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC).
