Maybe the terms 'Ambient' and 'Rock' are so diameterically opposed that people are afraid to use them together. It is usually music that you chill out to that is played within a traditional rock set up!

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.

Just had my first taste of 65daystostatic, goood shizz. Soaring emotional instrumentals with that hard edge to them, i'm impressed.

Post Progressive pretty much sums up the entire current music scene.

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

Boskov · 07-23-2008, 06:19 PM

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.

They combine post-rock and shogaze elements.
