For the record, when I say post-rock here I'm talking about actual post-rock bands (Tortoise, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, etc.) as opposed to the music the OP's girlfriend mistakenly thinks is post-rock. |

I know, modest mouse is definitely rock. I said "from my experience", and my experience has shown me that's it's still youth oriented. Maybe you don't consider explosions in the sky to be post rock, but I once saw them live and there was pretty much nothing but young people there.

But you also seem to be defining it based on what it was rather that how it's currently seen. While I agree that groups like Tortoise and GYBE fit the bill it seems a lot of listeners just want to apply the term to their generation of groups that deviate from the twist our own generation applied to the mainstream. Kind of like how we didn't like being told Pearl Jam sounded like classic rock when they first came out because they totally didn't. |

Heh. Speak for yourself. I always thought they sounded classic rock-ish. |

Same as the post rock thing, the average poster on this forum is not the average listener. We know how to dig a little and do a bit of research, the average hipster, not so much - and unfortunately they seem to be the ones redefining the terms in the commercial mainstream. The Wikipedia definition doesn't matter much when there are a bunch of people with dollars in their hands wanting to rename something to suit their tastes. (I also really don't miss the call center world ) |

Another label war, huh?
Surely we can all agree that the bands that fall under "post rock" and the bands that are just referred to as "rock" are very different from each other, yeah? I like to think of it this way... Rock songs create a moment to enjoy while post rock creates an atmosphere and a world to live in. They can still cross paths, but generally I think they are different enough to distinguish.

I love Post-Rock. But I'm not a fan of modern rock. Rock music is generally the same as pop music, but less accessible. Post rock is completely different as it doesn't tend to follow any patterns of verses, choruses and bridges that rock and pop do. This isn't why it's better, this si why they are different. ^This is a very general explanation - there will be exceptions. |
