For many millennials, the formative years of social media included countless hours on MySpace. Without access to the now-defunct original website, many are left with listening to the bands of the era for nostalgia. A main feature of MySpace was your profile song, and it would play as soon as anyone visited your page. Your songs on your profile were arguably the most important part of your page, and it was important to impress your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early 2000s, genres began blending and venturing into new styles and sounds more than ever before. With this, hardcore punk merged with metal, thus creating metalcore, which stylistically had emo elements sprinkled in as well. Often labeled as screamo, the bands featured raw screaming vocals, dropped and low-tuned guitars perfect for chugging riffs, and the tightest jeans imaginable. There was also the closely acquainted post-hardcore genre, and these blended into each other often. Metalcore and post-hardcore bands are still around to this day, but their heyday was certainly the mid-to-late 2000s. Here are 4 metalcore and post-hardcore bands of the 2000s that will make you wish you could log in to your old MySpace page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This band became a dominant metalcore force with their 2008 album Someday Came Suddenly<\/em>. Their vocalist, Austin Carlile, had a mid-to-high range screaming vocal approach that was addictive for metalcore fans. Someday Came Suddenly<\/em> grew in popularity due to songs such as “Stick Stickly,” “What Happens If I Can’t Check My Myspace When We Get There,” and “The People’s Elbow.” They became known for their on-stage synchronized moves called crabcore. The album hit No. 9 on the US Heatseekers chart in 2008. Shortly after its release, Austin Carlile left the group and eventually formed a new metalcore band, Of Mice And Men. With Caleb Shomo on vocals, Attack! Attack!<\/a> released a self-titled second album in 2010, and This Means War<\/em> in 2012. They made a comeback album in 2025 called Attack! Attack! II<\/em>, with the only original member included being drummer Andrew Wetzel. <\/p>\n\n\n\nChiodos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
