Defining Genres

Yeah, but Shape steers more towards the Hardcore side than the post side. I can't think of any plain hardcore albums I've heard, but I know the sound and I know I've heard a couple hardcore albums. The difference is easy to pick up.

Nah, I'd say Shape definitely steers more towards post-hardcore. There aren't an awful lot of moments when they aren't doing something creative on that album. Listen to more hardcore and you'll see the difference.

How about krautrock? I still have no idea what that is.

It's basically Germany's answer to psychedelic rock and prog rock. It tends to be more experimental and electronic though, and it was highly influential on post rock and post punk.

I came here to ask this. The Post Punk appreciation thread only went to highlight that I know sh*t abut post punk.

A good way to describe twee pop would be post-punk or indie with a more innocent, cutesy, feminine sound. A better way would be to listen to some, here's a couple of songs which I think define twee pop:

An umbrella term if there ever was one. Yeah, basically Germany's answer to left-field music, with a multitude of different styles. I highly recommend you check out this compilation as a introduction:
