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.

As a fan of good music, I work on a lot of stuff. I like Emo, Punk, & Metal and focus on making articles uniform, especially when it comes to cover art.
Oddly enough, I didn't know that Ozhu was a metalhead too when we met last year. :P That aside, I've worked on bands as diverse as Sparks the Rescue, Hopes Die Last and Jamie's Elsewhere, and I look forward to just diving in.
