Description of post-rock music
Post-rock is a genre of experimental rock music that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its use of unconventional song structures, long instrumental passages, and a focus on creating atmospheres and soundscapes through the use of textures and dynamics rather than traditional songwriting techniques. Post-rock often incorporates elements of other genres, such as ambient, electronic, and classical music. The genre is typically associated with acts such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, Sigur Rós, and Explosions in the Sky.
