WikiProject Post-hardcore is a project to promote the creation and improvement of articles relating to post-hardcore music and other related genres. The project was originally launched on 10 September 2006 as WikiProject Emo, and was repurposed to include a broader scope as WikiProject Post-hardcore on 19 September 2014. Please see the discussion page for information on various project-related collaborations.
To participate, simply add your name to the participants section.
These are task forces dedicated to specific aspects of post-hardcore such as individual artists, subgenres, etc. If you would like to propose a new task force or work group, make your suggestion on the project talk page to see if other editors are interested.
Argue endlessly over whether a particular artist belongs to a certain genre or not. If at least a few reliable sources say they do, that's enough for Wikipedia.
Things to remember:
This is a general interest encyclopedia. Articles should be understandable and appeal to both casual readers and dedicated fans of the genre alike.
Not every person, band, album, record label, etc. in existence deserves their/its own article. Article topics must demonstrate independent notability using citations to reliablethird-party sources. Primary sources are important too, but they are not enough to support an encyclopedia article on their own.

Here is a list of Emo Wikiproject members, together with some of their interests. To join the group simply add yourself to the list of participants, being sure to maintain alphabetical order.
I'm currently working on an overhaul of this Wikiproject to give it a number of useful tools such as assessments & collaboration of the month. Eventually when I have more time I plan to use some source books I have on hand to improve the emo and Rites of Spring articles.
Power violence, emo violence, screamo, Ampere, Funeral Diner, that sort of thing. But really all waves/subgenres/related genres, etc. I love all emo. Tell you what, I'll try and stay active in this.
I'm mostly interested in 1st & 2nd wave emo (The Get Up Kids, Braid, ect.) and will probably be around there. Mostly I do small edits, but every now and then I'll try taking on a bigger project.
I took the liberty of reviving this project a few months ago. I'm glad IllaZilla went the extra mile and did a complete overhaul, and I'd like to thank him for it. I'm interested in third-wave emo bands like The Used, and learning more about the genre. Eventually, I hope to improve all articles in the project.
I love looking for obscure bands (new and old....but mostly old.) So I may make a couple new pages. And lots and lots of spell-checks.
Inactive/former members
The following editors are no longer active in WikiProject Emo.
When moving names to this section, please use the format {{user|xxxx}} where xxxx is the username. Note: Sometimes it is easy to tell when a user is inactive, such as when they have been banned, retired, or vanished. However, keep in mind that not everyone contributes to Wikipedia on a regular basis. There are many editors who contribute infrequently or even go for months without making an edit, but then return. That said, it is generally safe to move an editor to the "inactive" section if they have not made an edit to Wikipedia within one year.
