Modern Post-Hardcore Essentials

Post-hardcore, as a genre, has changed...a LOT. We all know it. It went from Black Flag-inspired hardcore with noise rock influences to every band trying to sound like Pierce the Veil. Gross! Despite that, not every modern post-hardcore band sounds the exact same...right? Here are some modern classics of the genre that stand tall as some of the best it's ever seen, regardless of the decade.
