Well, post-grunge is descended from grunge, which was what Kurt Cobain, Pearl Jam, etc. were doing back in the '90s. Post-grunge is a bit more melodic and polished than grunge was, which I suppose you could argue misses the point, but I think it strikes a nice balance between the beautiful and the messy. Three Days Grace is one of my favorite bands in the genre--"Pain," "Riot," "I Hate Everything About You," etc. (Though I concede they do get a bit overwrought at times, and they're definitely not for all tastes.)

Nu-metal is that concert at the beginning of Brutal Legend. It's really screechy, really whiny, and it has an alarming tendency to try to incorporate rap. Korn's actually one of the BETTER bands in the genre (and I will give them credit for some decent songs like "Evolution.") Linkin Park's sometimes good as well.

I was kind of kidding, but thanks for the info. :)

I adore TDG, including those songs, and I'll be the first to admit, they're totally melodramatic. It's one reason I love them :)

Since you seem to have (imo) really cool taste, can I ask for some recs? Specifically, I recently came across a Breaking Benjamin song that I really like, and I've never heard them before; what are your favorites from them?

I think I can handle this.

Not so much post grunge as post grunge/goth rock (there's a lot of overlap there though), there's The Tea Party: http://youtu.be/qX860oJo6Yc

Also more along the indie goth/industrial vein but with similar sensibilities as BB (and Korn for that matter), there's Celldweller:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3juvNcYL3dU# (if I haven't linked it properly listen to Under My Feet)

If you like either of those I can provide more similar examples.

Celldweller, yay!

... omg someone else knows The Tea Party. eee.

Listening to Cedweller... I like! What other recs do you have? (I particularly lean towards the goth/industrial range so anything there is awesome, although I may know of it.)

Well in the industrial vein, my favorite bands are ones you've probably heard of/already listen to: NIN, Wumpscut, Rammstein (though they are admittedly more metal/industrial/electrocore), VnV Nation, KMFDM/MDFMK, Combichrist, Front Line Assembly, Assemblage 23, Conjure One, Dismantled (download the self titled album if you can find it).

Example; Assemblage 23 - 30K ft:

http://youtu.be/x9KnfVmWWq4

Example; Front Line Assembly - Providence:

http://youtu.be/xVjtDrdKeGE (ignore the idiotic video)

In the same vein as The Tea Party: Type O Negative, Moist, Stabbing Westward, AFI, Breaking Benjamin (as mentioned, Finger Eleven (the older works), Silverchair, 30 Seconds To Mars

Example; Stabbing Westward - Save Yourself:

http://youtu.be/5NZsCYOM4j0

Example; Finger Eleven - Stay And Drown:

http://youtu.be/bFQbuKtxfbc

Example; Type O Negative - Love You To Death:

http://youtu.be/xD5No_JRrZw#aid=P-XgqZdXYM8

I wanted to include Dismantled's "Shift" on the list of examples but I couldn't find it on youtube. It's worth it if you can find it somewhere to download though.

I have a paid Spotify account, and I find they have most everything I would be looking for. I've been surprised by their selection, honestly; they've had stuff that I thought would be obscure. :)

I love VNV Nation. I sadly just missed their concert because I misremembered the date, damn. I thought it was tomorrow; turns out it was the day before yesterday. *cries* (Things have been CRAZY here, what with having a friend staying all of February and March while we tried to find her a local place to stay so she could get away from her abusive family. I really meant to go to that, I've seen them live before and they're amazing. /annoyed)

I'm not familiar with Combichrist, Front Line Assembly (have heard of them, just haven't listened to them), haven't heard at all of Conjure One or Dismantled, and of the Tea Party vein, I'm familiar with Stabbing Westward (LOVE) and Type O Negative (meh), but not the others... shall check out!

Do you have other stuff in the vein of Celldweller? Seriously, I have had their discography on shuffle all morning and I am loving this shit.

Celldweller is an odd one to rec for since it's very genre defying. Dismantled and Assemblage 23 have some similarity in the hard electronica/industrial sense, but it's pretty hard to reproduce the mastery of the album I linked.

The Devil May Cry 3 soundtrack has a very similar sound, though it's not really an artist per se.

As for music that has the same kind of layers and complexity that Celldweller has, Pendulum is a group I would rec wholeheartedly... though it's basically moving fully from electroindustrial into the lyrical DNB/electronica genre.

However, if you really love Celldweller you would probably love Pendulum:

The Tempest - http://youtu.be/mg_Rx6u3Hus

Blood Sugar - http://youtu.be/3b0J8cw8ZWE

Witchcraft - http://youtu.be/ogMNV33AhCY

PS. My favorite Breaking Benjamin song is Away off of We Are Not Alone

With Breaking Benjamin specifically, I don't think of them as great listening music so much as great AMV music. There was a while when the Fullmetal Alchemist fandom was making a lot of AMVs with their stuff. On their own, I just thought of the songs as okay, but they always combined really well with the videos. (This seems to be a Breaking Benjamin thing in general rather than a specific interaction with FMA--I've seen good AMVs with their music for a lot of different action shows.)

Since I don't have anyone to share AMVs with, I don't normally keep the links to them. Maybe this one will be interesting, though? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_o2NyKfdjY

wow, ok, that was really good! Thank you!

:D

Aw, I'd put Korn above that screechy whiny feel tbh
