lol @ people who think bands can't be popular if they aren't on pop radio.

I'm not saying Fugazi are "mainstream" but they're easily one of the most popular post-hardcore band, and on a website called MUSIC banter I would expect 99% (bc Chula) of members to know who they are.

I never listen to the radio, and I still don't know those album covers.

Yeah, I think you totally misunderstood my point.

Well the initial post was said it catered to popular albums, yet more albums in that image aren't popular. So if I'm missing something, please inform me.

Creep is pretty huge.

And Merzbow is the most popular harsh noise artist.

One hit wonders do not necessarily count as popular.

I wouldn't say harsh noise and post-hardcore are at similar levels of popularity.


"Radiohead have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide."

At what point has post-hardcore ever been popular with anyone but music nerds? That is my point. Those are not popular albums. Those are popular albums for niche music fans.

Not as far as I know, but I guess somebody must have been buying those 30 million albums.

The last album Fugazi released (The Arguement, in 2001) charted at #6 on the independent charts in the US. I would argue they were popular during their time.
