^ Welcome to MB, TheWaitingRoom

Have you heard of a Japanese band called Te' ? They're some very strong post-rock, I'd give you the album name but it's really long and Japanese haha.

Edit: Ah found it, "Naraba, imi kara kaihou sareta hibiki ha ''oto'' no sekai no shinen wo kataru".

well I voted prog, but really I don't believe that such a style exists. I think it's called progressive because it sounds like anything performed before

I really feel that post-rock should be considered in this...

You'd put that under alternative.

I think it's more a important subgenre than rap-rock or hair metal, but oh well... i went Alternative.

well it's called post-rock cause it's not rock. it's music after rock, like when we say post-war.

Technically I suppose, but it really has essentially all elements of rock and roll... the term post rock seems a bit off.

I voted Punk. True Punk is raw, simple, pure emotion, not over produced, even has poor sound quality sometimes. Like Black Flag, Misfits, Ramones, Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys.

Saying it's not rock would be awfully pretentious. Its sound is definitely no less rock than dozens of other obscure sub-genres that have been previously categorized under rock (see the sound of Krautrock bands like Can, Neu and so forth - often a lot more "post-rock" than the bands these days grouped under that heading).

"Post-genre", when used these days, does not seem to really exclude the music from fitting into that genre. Look at "post-hardcore" music. It's still essentially hardcore, the real idea being that it's merely moved on from what hardcore typically once was.

probably post-rock...
