I agree completely, Exoskeletal. I guess her view of rock is that it's something only applied to heavier acts like Tool or Godsmack, that it's exclusive to a certain sound involving huge, pounding guitar and angry vocals, which is a very filtered and to be honest, ignorant view of rock music in general.

But what I'm really trying to get at, rather than complaining about my girlfriend, is the term "post-rock" and the different opinions on it. The music that commonly falls under the term "post-rock" is actually great music, but calling it post-rock seems a little inaccurate. So what should record stores call it? Does it even matter what we call it?
