and Post-Rock is getting the message. It's a slowly dying genre. I don't see many new Post-Rock bands anymore.

I don't think post-rock is dying, it's just changing shape. You have the OGs like Mogwai, Slint, Godspeed, etc. and you get a million imitators but you also get the bands who take the blueprint and push it into new boundaries, like Sigur Ros, Moving Mountains, Aereogramme and such. Same goes for math rock. In the beginning you have a few underground cult following bands that influence 21st century newcomers who either copy or innovate. It's hard for a genre to die, it just usually morphs into something new.
