...what these genres "post metal" "post punk" "post hardcore" and most confusing of all "post rock" mean? Does this mean the music is rock after rock? Rock, metal, hardcore and punk all still exist, so why the prefix "post"? These genre names strike me as being pretentious and meaningless. |
|
Pretty sure it just means they're more atmospheric. Dunno. I suck dick. |
|
I've noticed that a lot of bands that call themselves Post-whatever usually have a more atmospheric/experimental quality to the music, which is perfectly fine, but why not just call it "atmospheric rock" or "exprimental hardcore"? I don't get this "post" business. |
|
ill preface this by saying that i hate the use of "POST" anything in a bands description, but I believe that the post pre-fix refers to music being derivative of whatever genre it precedes but lacks all of the criteria necessary to be considered purely that genre. its the quote "next phase" in the evolution of that genre. |
|
It's pretty much the same thing with "core". I just don't get labels these days. |

seriously. i've come to correlate the term "core" with "watered down, unoriginal ripoff". |
|
I will tell napalm death about your dissent. this isn't over. |

Mecha-Barney Greenway has been unleashed. |

This terminology is most likely used by fags with white belts and girl pants, or by some douchey record label trying to promote some shit band. |

I think the "post-" prefix is one that was started with good intentions but is now just totally abused. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure punk was the first genre it was affixed to with the implication that "real" punk was dead. Bands calling themselves "post-punk" were influenced by the original punk scene but were trying to move in a direction that shared some of the aesthetics but was also new and fresh at the time.
That could be bullshit though. I'm just basing that on observations. |
|
It's a pretentious way of saying "we play and ironic artsy fag style of said genre" |
|
I'm with you, man.. there's so many "post-" bands now it's not even funny.
It's almost as they want to label themselves that just to prove that they're "advancing" the progress of said genre. |
|
People label GY!BE "post-rock" and Neurosis as "post-metal". I think the term "post" is thrown out there by people trying desperately to classify unclassifiable music. Coming up with "post (enter genre here)" hardly provides these bands with any justice, it's just stupid. |

You guys are way behind. Music is so 20th century - I'm into post-music. |
|
i don't even have ears. i have post-ears.they look like dicks coming out of the sides of my head and they take in post-music quite well. then they emit a sticky post-substance. |

It means that in our new enlightened world, we can admit access to our emotions without being threatened as men. This means we not only tolerate but embrace female domination, diversity, metrosexuality and fiber. |

One of my friends said it best... "post means you killed it" |
|
i always assumed that post music was what you are supposed to listen after a show on your ride home. thats why its always slower, softer, and more melodic than the non-prefixed genre. |

This is simultaneously the most retarded and brilliant analysis of post-music in it's literalness |
|
Post music means you used to be into playing rock or hardcore or whatever but then you turned into a huge pussy and now can only handle the soft versions of said genre. |
|
The crass sexism... it chokes my heart.
Post-core means you are Progressive and have evolved past being an angry Neanderthal who affirms the importance of things like war, marriage, racial purity, heterosexuality and social order. |

I didn't get labels 10 years ago! |

According to Maddox, attaching "post-" to any genre just means it's fun anymore.
