i really don't get the "post" identification when things in the identifier are still being made
post-modern especially bugs me
"post" is usually referring to a different movement (aesthetic or philosophical or critical or whatever) that's defined in opposition to its predecessor, in some meaningful way
specifically, postmodern approaches in literature are radically different than modern ones, so the distinction is pretty important
but then you have all the new developments emerging from and reacting to postmodernism, so there's a bunch of new ideas that aren't really postmodern anymore. people are sort of defaulting to calling this new stuff "postpostmodernism" which is just silly

and speaking of mgmt and justice and hip hop
yep this. Same deal with art history. There was modernism (which doesn't mean new), then the post modernism movement was formed as a direct reaction to those ideas. So it's called post modern because the ideas behind the movement are defined by the modernism movement that came before

i'm actually inventing pre-modernism
it takes art and dilutes it to its most base form:
scrawling stick figures on rocks with my own feces

You can't post post-rock without this. It is not allowed according to the rules. The rules may be drafted on the back of a take-out receipt but they are still rules!
I heard a smalltime post-rock band at a music festival several years back, they were actually pretty good but they needed some polish. They weren't effectively crescendoing, if that makes sense. The songs felt like so much build and then a half crescendo and then more build and it left me wanting more. I wanted to scream at the drummer to just do like 10 seconds of 1/16ths on the kick and then lay into the cymbals like the gorilla in the Air Tonight video and they would fucking have it, man.

Some post rock band opened for tallest man on earth at a bar in Bloomington and the crowd was just not having it.

i had the same issue re: post-modern
but the modern thing doesn't actually refer to time i guess?
i dunno it bugs me a lot less after someone who knew shit explained it to me
post-rock is the dumbest genre name though

Been listening to a huge amount of UK garage/ambient stuff over the last few years. Those two songs above in particular are my recent favorites.
Don't give a fuck.

but song for our fathers is great and i love the riff right at the start
i learned to play it so that i could shout LOOK I'M A POST-ROCK BAND and play a thing
helps that it's only three notes
