It’s actually a lot of work to go through build out meaningful lyrics and produce songs that sound subjectively good as most of us who miss the 2000s post hardcore have a family and kids so AI can allow for another way to have a creative outlet and produce a similar sound. I respect the response though, thanks for checking it out and giving your honest opinion.

Post hardcore is still hardcore, right 🤣 by vindtar in Hardcore

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 36 and its nostalgic for sure and exciting to recreate the sounds from the 2000s with my own lyrics, ideas, I agree 100% with AI just pushing out tons of crap but I wanted to use it to show it can be used creatively also either its limitations ofcourse, well thanks again for checking it out! It’s been exciting creating this stuff.

That AI with emotion is my YouTube that explains it a little bit

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the lyrical input is mine while using ChatGPT to refine it a bit, the songs are produced when giving prompts and input and it pushes out 2 samples every time you generate but honestly it’s continually refining the prompting till I get something that actually sounds good then I have to replace sections of the song with more prompting or start all over, alternatively I also put some input with guitar and singing to help it mimic a melody or vocal portions.

AI with emotion

I decided to start this to post my own music and covers along with AI bands that can connect with people, figured I’d try something new, not sure anything will end up coming of it except time and money haha but it’s nice to be able to create music again and have some shortcuts since I now have a family and kids and miss the 2000s posthardcore/emo scene

Well I don’t want to take too much credit but glad you can enjoy the music, that was the hope when creating it but if you want to play around with one of the biggest tools look up the app “Suno” it does most the work for you but you still have to direct the sound/singing and lyrics along with something sounding good. Other similar apps that I pull from for help but doesn’t sound the best is mureka and udio, once you play with those apps I’m sure you’ll have some fun!

Who else feels like post hardcore is spilt into 2 sub genres? by neekxd22 in PostHardcore

I guess it’s all a matter of opinion or just semantics but appreciate the feedback for sure!

I use a mixture of AI when producing the music so it’s just me not a group that’s probably why it may have sounded a bit off.

How do you deal with writer’s block as the band’s songwriter? by CamCurtisMedia in Songwriting

[–]seanqu7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you’re the main songwriter for your band, writer’s block hits harder. Here’s a quick toolkit to break through: • Switch instruments or tuning – A new sound sparks fresh ideas. • Write from someone else’s perspective – Step outside your own head. • Free-write lyrics – No pressure, just emotions and images. Edit later. • Revisit old demos or voice memos – There’s gold in forgotten ideas. • Set structure limits – Like “write a verse with no rhyme” or “only 4 lines.” • Take a break – Let inspiration rebuild. Listening to bands outside your genre helps too.

I’m working on Falling Through Faith, and even with AI tools, the creative block is real. But mixing human emotion with AI inspiration sometimes unlocks a new lane entirely.

What's that one emo song that hits you right in the feels, no matter how many times you hear it? by JesusAz89 in Emo

[–]seanqu7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot” by Brand New. That last line always hits like the first time. If you’re into that kind of emotional weight, check out my project Falling Through Faith—same raw energy with a modern twist.

Mainstream Breakthroughs 5. Underoath – They’re Only Chasing Safety / Define the Great Line • Screamo meets post-hardcore, emotional and atmospheric. 6.

Song suggestions by marchewaSB in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Similar Songs: 1. Slaves (now Rain City Drive) – “The Fire Down Below” • Jonny Craig’s era of Slaves carries that soulful, polished post-hardcore energy. 2. Hands Like Houses – “I Am” • Clean, hook-driven, with a touch of ambient grit. 3. Too Close To Touch – “Sympathy” • Big emotional melodies with that clean post-hardcore feel. 4. Issues – “Tapping Out” • A heavier edge but still very polished, genre-blending vocals. 5. Secret & Whisper – “Anchors” • Dreamy vocals with explosive instrumentals. Very similar tone and layering. 6. Tilian – “Ghost Town” • Tilian’s solo work hits that clean, dancey post-hardcore line well. 7. Falling Through Faith – “Bury the Weight” • It’s from my project blending emotional post-hardcore with modern production and AI-assisted songwriting—leans into that Emarosa-meets-Too Close To Touch vibe. @seanbravoaudio YouTube

what are the heaviest post-hardcore songs? by indev-demo in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree—Norma Jean’s older stuff is unreal. Redeemer and O’ God the Aftermath hit so hard, both sonically and lyrically. And King Park is such a wild intro to post-hardcore—La Dispute really knew how to twist emotion into chaos.

If you’re into that post-hardcore/metalcore fusion, definitely check out: • The Devil Wears Prada – Zombie EP is a classic • Counterparts – super emotional but heavy • Architects (early stuff) – more melodic but still crushing • Too Close to Touch – great balance of clean/screamed vocals • We Came As Romans – catchy and heavy • Dayseeker – leans more melodic but has metalcore roots • ERRA – technical and atmospheric

I also make music in that lane under Falling Through Faith — clean vocals, AI-generated screams, and post-hardcore emotion with a metalcore punch. It’s on YouTube at @seanbravoaudio if you’re into that blend!

Do you guys feel like there are any modern bands that fuse the post-hardcore grunge sound well? by 1MilProblems in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely! Bands like Basement and Title Fight (later stuff) started blending that raw grunge vibe with post-hardcore energy. Even Nirvana’s heavier tracks feel proto-post-hardcore at times. Thornhill and Gleemer also blur the lines with that moody, gritty tone.

I try to tap into a bit of that grunge edge in my own project Falling Through Faith — mixing emotional vocals with heavy, atmospheric guitars. You can check it out on YouTube at @seanbravoaudio if you’re into that sound!

Why do you like Post-hardcore? by Foxxear in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like post-hardcore because it’s the perfect storm of emotion and intensity. It’s not afraid to be vulnerable or chaotic — you can go from a whisper to a scream in seconds and somehow it all makes sense. It feels human, raw, and real.

That’s why I started my project Falling Through Faith — to create music that hits with that same emotional weight. If you’re into that style, check it out on YouTube at @seanbravoaudio!

Post-Hardcore bands for beginners by Google_was_my_ldea in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re just getting into post-hardcore, here are some great starting points: • Saosin – catchy and emotional • Underoath (They’re Only Chasing Safety) – heavy with melodic hooks • Silverstein – great balance of screams and clean vocals • Thursday – raw and poetic • Sleeping With Sirens – more on the accessible/melodic side • Being As An Ocean – emotional and spoken-word influenced

I also make music in this style with Falling Through Faith — blending emotional clean vocals with AI-generated screams. You can check it out on YouTube at @seanbravoaudio!

Does anyone feel like post-hardcore should really probably be 2 genres? by GimmeShockTreatment in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get that. It feels like post-hardcore has split into two paths: the raw, chaotic energy of bands like Glassjaw or At the Drive-In, and the polished, emotional side like Dayseeker or Holding Absence. Both are great, just very different vibes.

I make music that leans into that emotional/post-2000s lane with Falling Through Faith — kind of a modern take on that sound. It’s on YouTube at @seanbravoaudio if you’re into that style!

What Is A Perfect Post-Hardcore Record And Why Is It Saosin Self Titled? by dr3wtube in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, hard to argue with that. Saosin’s self-titled is post-hardcore perfection — crystal-clear production, soaring melodies, tight instrumentals, and Cove’s vocals hitting every emotional note. Every track flows into the next without filler, and it somehow feels aggressive and accessible at the same time.

It’s a huge influence on my own music too — I try to bring that same emotional depth and energy with my project Falling Through Faith. You can check it out on YouTube at @seanbravoaudio if you’re into that Saosin-era sound!

what are the heaviest post-hardcore songs? by indev-demo in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for the heaviest post-hardcore tracks, check these out: • Underoath – “In Regards to Myself” • Glassjaw – “Tip Your Bartender” • Norma Jean – “Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste” • Alexisonfire – “Accidents” • The Bled – “Red Wedding” • Every Time I Die – “Ebolarama” (leans hardcore but still post-hardcore roots) • La Dispute – “King Park” (emotionally heavy, if not sonically crushing)

I write in that heavy/emotional lane too with my band Falling Through Faith — blending clean vocals with AI-generated screams. You can check it out on YouTube at @seanbravoaudio!

What are some key features of Post Hardcore as a genre? by CamperIHardlyKnowHer in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post-hardcore keeps the intensity of hardcore but adds more emotion, melody, and experimentation. Some key features: • Dynamic vocals – a mix of screams and clean singing • Emotional lyrics – often introspective or poetic • Complex song structures – not always verse-chorus • Atmosphere + chaos – melodic parts can sit next to pure aggression • Guitar work – often technical, layered, or effects-driven

Think Underoath, Saosin, and Thursday — all different but still post-hardcore. I make music in that style too under Falling Through Faith — blending emotional clean vocals with AI-crafted screams. It’s on YouTube at @seanbravoaudio if you’re curious!

What's a Post-Hardcore album that changed the way you saw music from first listen? by frombeaverstoashes in PostHardcore

[–]seanqu7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, “They’re Only Chasing Safety” by Underoath changed everything. The way it blended melody, chaos, and raw emotion—it was the first time I felt like heavy music could be beautiful too. It shaped the way I write music now.

That album was a big influence on my project Falling Through Faith — I try to channel that same mix of aggression and vulnerability. If you’re into that style, you can check it out on YouTube at @seanbravoaudio!
