i dont know. ive herd they are in the "post punk" category(thrice the used). Its the recent name/genre they have been put in. SO it has the word punk in it so i figure its punk.. take it as you will.
eh its all music.. love it or hate it call it what you want.. its still music i am getting really tiard of all those damn catagories there are way to many to say the lease the used and thrice is rock.... down with catagories...
The used is mostly called Screamo, not really "post punk. I'd just say they are pop rock (pop meaning popular, not bubble gum sounding). Thrice is just riffy rock.
