Sure post-prog is absurd, just as new prog is absurd - these are marketing terms at best and lazy journalism at worse.

What?

So please tell me, what will we consider Post Prog?
Your perspective is one of many, I believe that the term is absurd an inaccurate, I can understand post war, post anything that has ended. Now, the term Post Modernism for example, was created by John Watkins Chapman to break with Modernism, most precisely with impressionism, he honestly believed Modernism was dead,the wrong usage of it by many people doesn't make it correct. Post Futurism is an absolute contradiction, but again, it's a term coined by Vivian Sobchack to split from post modernism. All unnecessary and contradictory terms IMO. Prog exists, it's vital today, how in hell can we say that there is something called Post Prog? Iván

Why are you even arguing these points with me? I have never said Post Prog exists, I don't think it does, just as I don't think New Prog exists. HOWEVER: Once a term goes from being a decriptive adjective to a noun then all relevance to the meaning of the words is void, Progressive Rock does not progress, Symphonic Rock isn't symphonic and Arena Rock isn't exclusive to arenas (

Hmm...and to think that I thought it was called Post rock because the music was immobile and didn't go anywhere like a fence post.

I'm gonna hijack this thread right now. New topic.
Ivan. Who the fark is in the daisy costume and where can I listen to whatever music they are playing right now?
Post whatever. Stupid. Nowadays it seems like Post implies lots of ambience, build-up, and lots of ripping off Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Except normal prog already does that, so post-prog doesnt make sense to me.
