I agree. It's just mostly not in the mainstream, which is why most people don't know.
Post-rock: You've got your atmospheric instrumental rock but also bands like
Tortoise who are as much electronic as they are rock.
Instrumental hip-hop (or even just hip-hop as a whole): with or without rapping, there is heavy influence from the electronic world. That's basically what it is, it's not rock. A lot of instrumental hip-hop is very close to downtempo electronic and IDM, even. And many artists in all of these genres use live instruments such as drums, bass, electric guitar, even acoustic sometimes in their music. Even violins and pianos.
Jazz rock/jazz hip-hop: Pretty self explanatory.
Karate and
The Roots, for example.

I completely agree. It's fine to experiment, but be careful who you let listen to it...kids are impressionable.
Brokencyde comes to mind.

Regarding house-rap or rave-rap. What comes to mind are UK Garage and 2-Step, which are more like R&B with soulful breaks/DnB but evolved out of the house scene. Then came Grime which was a little more ravey due to combining DnB and Dancehall, basically creating a "grimey" form of Jungle (which is very common at raves) but with rapping versus the typical Jungle/DnB style of MCing. And lately there's the whole wonky scene which combines electronic/IDM with a more urban/hip-hop vibe and sometimes with rapping. So somewhere in there you've got your rave-rap and your house-rap.
