Post-hardcore is a really broad/stupid term that is thrown at anything from the entire emo/screamo movement, to popular bands like Rise Against and Strike Anywhere, to those new wave mtvmo bands like Hawthorne Heights because they have screaming, to mathy bands like the Fall of Troy, or experimental hardcore bands like the Blood Brothers. Basically, post-hardcore is anything hardcore that isn't the Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, Black Flag and Bad Brains. It's a really stupid term, I'm sure at one time it meant something though.

In my experience the best way to tell a metalcore band and a grindcore band apart is by looking like at how the band dresses. If one of them looks like they shop at hot topic, they're probably metalcore.

Nah but seriously, metalcore is typically really really big on breakdown and is basically a combination of hardcore and metal. Grindcore is more diverse, it has elements of thrash, and speed metal and you're more likely to hear squeeling, barking, and the singer making weird noises. It's more aggressive and way less formulaic for the most part.
