I never said they were "just post-hardcore." That's the whole reason I labeled those previous bands as "noise rock/post-hardcore." I actually thrive on genre diversity to the point of annoyance. Talking about genres makes up the majority of my review topics. And of course, an album can be much more than one genre. Heck, look at albums like Funeral, Fleet Foxes, Pet Sounds, hell any Beatles album. What I am saying is, a genre can be created if a definitive sound is common enough, no matter how much that sound can be experimented with on average by the bands who unintentionally made the sound so common that it gained a genre tag. I doubt Ramones would have known they'd be the start of a huge genre with so many subgenres.
I'm still waiting for grungegaze to get so common it's an official term. My point is there's no way in hell I disagree with you about bands and albums falling under multiple categories. But I also agree post-hardcore has a distinct sound.
