Well, I was using it as an example to the bizarre things that are springing up with "post" in from of them. It won't be long until we see post Country and post Rap.

But the below comment made me laugh.

I have seen some stuff get tagged post-rap. Dalek for instance.

But that doesn't even make sense.

Dalek is Noise with Hip Hop beats and an MC.

Unless, of course, the 'post' prefix is an amorphous and colloqiual definition; in which case, it's a rather pointless one too. Much like adding "progressive" in front of a genre.

I am slowly getting into Post Rock. I have:

Sigur Ros
Explosions in the Sky
Jesu (mixes industrial with post rock)
*shels

Sigur Ros really isn't that post-rock.

I want more This Will Destroy You

I can't get enough of this stuff...a lot of it sounds the same but I just do not care. Here are some of my favorites:
Do Make Say Think
Mogwai
This Will Destroy You
Circle of Birds
Godspeed You Black Emporer (not sure if that's how it's all spelled now)
Friends in the Mountains
Explosions in the Sky

recommend me a few, please?

They combine post-rock and shogaze elements.
