====Emo and post-hardcore==== The 1980s saw the development of [[post-hardcore]], which took the hardcore style in a more complex and dynamic direction, with a focus on singing rather than screaming. The post-hardcore style first took shape in Chicago, with bands such as [[Big Black]], [[the Effigies]] and [[Naked Raygun]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/effigies-p23913/biography |title=Effigies β Biography |author=Huey, Steve |work=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=March 28, 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101228045014/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/effigies-p23913/biography |archive-date=December 28, 2010 }}</ref> It later developed in Washington, D.C., within the community of bands on [[Ian MacKaye]]'s [[Dischord Records]], with bands such as [[Fugazi]], [[the Nation of Ulysses]], and [[Jawbox]].<ref name="PosthardcoreAllmusic">{{AllMusic |class=explore |id=style/d12962 |label=Post-Hardcore}}</ref> The style extended until the late 2000s.<ref name="PosthardcoreAllmusic"/> The mid-'80s Washington, D.C., [[Revolution Summer (music)|Revolution Summer]] movement and post-hardcore scene would also see the birth of [[emo]].
