anyone else out there who likes post rock? bands like mogwai and explosions in the sky and sigur ros?
i think it's an interesting style, kinda different, good music to chill out with. but you definitely have to be in the mood for it.
there are also some metal bands that combine post rock with metal - bands like isis and pelican and jesu and neurosis and cult of luna. anyone out there like any of those bands?

The only straightforward post-rock I've listened to is Godspeed you black emperor and Explosions in the sky one album each.
I do listen to some Post-sludge, but I find that most of them just end up being nothing more than Neurosis/Isis worship.

Gravechylde I do listen to some Post-sludge, but I find that most of them just end up being nothing more than Neurosis/Isis worship. yeah, it's kinda unfortunate, but a lot of post-metal stuff is just neurosis/isis worship. i mean, neurosis and isis are both great, it's fine to be influenced by them, but a band should do its own thing. i've just started getting into both post-rock and sludge within the past few months, and i'm trying to incorporate elements of both styles into my guitar playing - maybe i'll be able to come up with something more original.

I have heard of alot of genres that have "Post" in their name, like post-punk, post-rock, post-metal. What does the post mean, or is it different in each genre?

Dragon Bleed I have heard of alot of genres that have "Post" in their name, like post-punk, post-rock, post-metal. What does the post mean, or is it different in each genre? It generally means a change of the genre. For instance, when a genre "dies", and then a new form comes about that is totally different, but is still technically in the genre. Post-metal isn't actually a genre, it's just a catch-all term for metal that has post-rock influence. Post-sludge isn't either, but it's easier than saying "Sludge with Post-Rock influences" every time.

It generally means a change of the genre. For instance, when a genre "dies", and then a new form comes about that is totally different, but is still technically in the genre. Post-metal isn't actually a genre, it's just a catch-all term for metal that has post-rock influence. Post-sludge isn't either, but it's easier than saying "Sludge with Post-Rock influences" every time. yeah, what gravechylde said was basically right. like after the initial wave of punk in the mid to late 70's, the genre supposedly died. then, in the early eighties you had a lot of guys who were in some of the original punk bands do this stuff called post-punk, which basically combined their punk influences with other styles: ex. john lydon (formerly johnny rotten of the sex pistols) started experimenting with dub, ska, and reggae, while still incorporating punk influences. new wave also falls under post-punk. in the case of post-rock, i dont think the argument is that rock is dead, just that this new genre is the next step, is what is coming after rock, maybe to replace it. while the bands sounds can vary greatly, the general concept is that they use standar rock band setup (guitars, bass, drums, maybe keyboards) and create music that is clearly not rock. another typical characteristic is that songs tend to start out mellow and slow, and they build up until there is a crescendo, with each instrument coming in and the whole recording increasing in intensity and energy. this doesn't hold true in all cases, but it's something that distinguishes post rock from other genres - not many other genres incorporate that song structure. and as gravechylde said, post-metal is just a catch-all for bands that incorporate post rock influences into their metal. i've also heard the term "ambient sludge" used, but post-metal seems more common. now in case you're wondering about "post-hardcore" - that's just another word for screamo.

i don't really think so, although they are pretty good. they're more generally "indie"

I don't think I have listened to any pure post rock before. But I do love bands like Shelter Red, Isis, and Jesu (even though I don't clump them in the "post-wotsit" genres, they have a lot more stuff floating around in there to hinder them by a single genre)
