The point of my answer is "post-rock" is a term that was used before the genre label of bands like Slint. An early use of the term actually was in a description of the Beatles. I'm pointing out the term "post-rock" is problematic, it's too vague, except when a genre label. I suspect you use the term only as a genre label and that's why you may be confused. By comparison shoegaze is a specific genre label. But, I agree with your last point, you don't have an answer that would add to the discussion. | |

Adding another answer detailing how post-rock is not "anything after the Beatles that mixes traditional rock with music from other cultures and/or genres" would add nothing to this QA. | |
