idk i think of it as like lots of tremolo, reverb, feedback and other textures, usually instrumental, with sweeping compositions that touch on a wide array of emotions throughout the long song lengths



Slint doesn't really do this, and while they definitely set up the initial archetype for post-rock to come and were hella influential, I think I'd just call them like post-harcore / noise rock



or just Slint

Yea Slint definitely laid down the foundations for the genre. The term wasn't coined back then though

idk when the actual term came about. Sigur Ros' first album or GY!BE's first album maybe?

Yea not only post rock. It was definitely the first of it's kind though, Spiderland. That's why people often call it the pioneering album of post rock.

I always laugh at the idiots who say that music is dead. Anyone who says that obviously has not heard

People in general say that in the world sometimes. Older people in particular. It's a shame.

That type of stuff haha. There's genuine passionate music that makes you feel, like this, everywhere. You just have to look hard enough.

I was talking with my grandpa one time(granted he almost is 80 so he is bound to think like this) but

he was

saying that music has gone downhill because he was describing how all the mainstream music is. I told

him exactly what I said and he even he admitted his wrongs. The radio is giving all the older people

the wrong impression.
