Why are bands like Mogwai considered post-rock? Also, what else is considered post-rock? Last one I promise: Does anyone else get confused with genres and subgenres as much as I do?

Story of my life

I still much prefer the term 'Ambient Rock' which is what it is basically. We do need genre classifications to help with descriptions but I TRY to equate bands who are similar or at least narrow the genre tagging down if possible. Some of the musical genres on wikipedia are unbelievable!

makes you want to say "fiddlestix!", huh?




c wat i did thar?

LOL


yeah. it does

Nothing better than the term fiddlestix! It just suits...

Yep, thats why i used it :D

I don't think Mogwai really sounds ambient much though. Action Rock is definitely better post-rock I think has a bit of a pretentious feel. Like ohhh we're so past rock.

Mogwai really aren't that great. I find them really inane and boring compared to other popular post-rock bands.
