    post-modern especially bugs me

    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

    "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

    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.
    this is what was called dubstep pre-Skrillex but I never call it that anymore because people won't believe me

    A Song for Our Fathers is awesome. I liked pretty much every song off How Strange, Innocence cause they were kind of similar

    God Is an Astronaut is another nifty post rock group

    i used to be super gay for how strange innocence

    but now i'm just super lukewarm on it

    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

    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:

    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.
