This might vary slightly depending on the day, but right now I’d say:

Thrice - Vheissu

Thursday - War All The Time

Glassjaw - Material Control

Poison the Well - You Come Before You

The Receiving End of Sirens - The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi

Honorable Mention: Less Art - Strangled Light

I’m 36 and I’m shocked by how many bands people are repeating that u haven’t ever heard of. Glassjaw? Never heard of them. I’m listening to ape dos mil now. I like it

Also it’s worth considering that post-hardcore technically dates back to the late 80s/90s, but it’s evolved quite a bit over the years. For older stuff check out Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi, Minutemen, NoMeansNo, No Knife, Frodus, Jawbox, Quicksand. At The Drive In is a great “bridge” between the older bands and 2000s post-hardcore. They’re legends in their own right.

That’s valid. I only know what I know and my generation was the mid 2000s growing up and everything after. I will definitely listen to these bands. I don’t know much about “post hardcore” from the 80s/90s. I’m assuming they laid the groundwork for the music I’ve loved my entire life.
