Both change the sound of their genres, so why shouldn't both be labelled as different things?

just because he was previously making dubstep that didn't fit in with the average American's perception of the genre does not make it "post"



he's moved into more of an R&B kind of area since venturing away from dubstep, this does not mean he's invented a new genre

When did I ever say it created something different? It doesn't create it, but it changes it in a way
that it could be labelled as something different. Technical Thrash Metal, for example. Anyways this
got out of hand. I'm just saying that I don't really see why people should be hostile to the idea.
Soon we might be entering the realm of sub-sub-subgenres for all we know!

What's hostile about criticising a dumb genre tag which gets way too much use? It's such a lazy description anyway, it

doesn't mean anything. Dubstep was a fusion genre in the first place.

creating a new sub-genre is fine, maybe, but please for fuck's sake let's not call it "post-dubstep." that is such an inaccurate description of his music (of anyone's music) and it just reeks of pretension.



"post" is starting to get way overused. Post-rock makes sense, so does post-punk, but besides that it's pretty much pointless. Post-hardcore kind of makes sense, but it's still a dumb tag, and post-metal is the worst named sub-genre in recent memory (unless this one sticks).

remember when people started using "the wave" as a genre tag?

I already said that, and besides I don't even call it that. I just don't see the big deal with it and it makes sense just like all the others. Stupid or not.

and tbh "technical" is just as bad of a genre prefix as "post" is

Technical death metal makes sense to me

'except the worst recent genre tag is blackgaze'



What else would you propose we call it? Do you consider 'post black metal' to be a better term for bands mixing shoegaze and black metal?

Blackgaze makes sense as a fusion genre name



Chillstep, future garage, drumstep, all those kinds of sub genre tags related to garage and dubstep are just awful

Well then how does post rock make sense? A genre that includes rhythms and textures not associated with rock is what it's characterized as. I don't understand how that one can make sense and not post-dubstep. We could call post rock ambient rock or instrumental soft rock or any of the styles that is considered as post-rock, so why do we call it post-rock? Why do we call anything "post"? Stupid or not, it came "after" rock for that matter just like post dubstep came after dubstep. It just added ambient and R&B/soul to it as well. I don't understand.

Post rock is a completely different take on rock. It takes rock and effectively goes against it's definition.



"post dubstep" doesn't mean anything anyway but just adding other genres doesn't change the dubstep aspect. Also,

there's been ambient aspects to dubstep for years.

mindie I feel like you're way more heated about this than everyone else



it's not really worth arguing anymore at this point, since it's all a basis of opinion anyway and no one can seem to agree

What else would you propose we call it? Do you consider 'post black metal' to be a better term for bands mixing shoegaze and black metal?

I'm not heated, I'm really interested actually
