Thrice is good but those two bands suck arse.

anyway I was talking about the name of the genre and labelling bands with that tag. I listen to a lot of "post rock" but I tend to call it emo, progressive, ambient, psychedelic or whatever else it fits as. it's not like Explosions in the Sky, Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson and Sigur Rós sound even remotely the same, even if they do have moody music with climaxes.

it seems every ambient band with climaxes and not much vocals are labelled post rock. it's dumb. and post hardcore is also dumb. stop calling things post hardcore. usually it's either emo or scene. simple as that.

post [whatever] does not make sense to me. what did metal die, so we now need to call everything post metal? dumb.
