It didn't stick because it was just a term being thrown around. It wouldn't be the first time something has been used to describe something that was later used to describe a whole genre.
I can remember Stereolab being called post rock in the early 90s. Stereolab don't sound anything like a post rock band. But at the time it was just a meaningless term when post rock as a genre didn't exist, just like 'punk rock' in 1973.
It was when the Sex Pistols came along that term finally meant something, and no amount of retrospective labelling will change that.
