Indie does deserve credit, just not as much as what some indie bands get.

Post-rock is extremely similar to prog. It generally uses rythyms, harmonies, melodies, timbre, and chord progressions not typical in rock. Also most post rock songs are long and are instrumental. And on top of that almost all post rock bands are indie. Sounds like indies take on prog to me.
