I disagree with you there, those are just too broad nowadays to have any kind of meaningful discussion. For instance, there are huge differences between:

A DIY indie rock band and something like corporate post-grunge (not suggesting a genre name here, just describing the sound)

80s pop/glam metal and death metal

Anarcho-punk and a sold out pop punk band like Blink-182

Old country and new/pop country

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

Speaking of country, what the hell happened to that genre? I never really listened to it, but as far as I know, nowadays it's just pop with a different accent, instead of what I imagined country to sound like. I guess that might explain why there's so many people saying ''I listen to everything besides country''(btw, most people that say that don't actually listen to everything besides country, same goes for people who say they listen to everything).

It's really the same as pop.

How to make a country song:

1. Find any pop song.
2. Sing it with a twang.
3. Throw in some background harmonies.
4. Alter the lyrics to mention the words "beer" and "truck" at least three times each.

You forgot:

Be sure to have a fiddle or pedal steel player in your backing band.

He did play the trumpet very whale.

"post-rock" always annoyed me as a label. not that the style doesn't necessarily deserve its own sub-genre but **** the pretentiousness of that genre name.
