I think the "post" usually means it has post-rock influences. So post-hardcore is post-rock mixed with hardcore and post-metal is post-rock mixed with metal, etc. And as far as where the name "post-rock" comes from in the first place, I think it was originally intended to refer to bands that had a rock background and rock instrumentation but played a new (at the time) type of music that wasn't rock. I have to say I'm a bit surprised to hear your sort of putting it down because I've always thought of post-rock as a musical cousin to prog. In fact, in the mid 90s, before the term "post-rock" was in heavy use, people I knew that listened to bands like Tortoise actually referred to them as "progressive" bands.

I think "post" means that it is original enough to differentiate itself from the genre which it draws its most prevalent influence, yet not divergent and distinct enough to qualify as more than a sub genre.

I don't think it's simply mixing post rock with something. Since I think the terms post punk and post hardcore where being used before post rock came around. Though I could be wrong.

Yeah, that's what I think too.

"Post rock" was being used before "post rock" came around? I don't get what you mean.

Joking aside, I'm sure you meant post punk. I don't think there's much of a connection between post punk and post rock really though. But I did a little googling and I think you're right about post hardcore being around before post rock. I didn't realize that. So I guess that's not directly related to post rock. I do think that post metal is metal mixed with post rock though.
