Improperly "citing" a single album as evidence for a genre's existence does not a legitimate genre make. C1k3 (talk) 02:59, 31 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Neutral. I filled in the stub from a redlink, if i remember right. The example is just an example, of course, but Google reveals a fair amount of usage of the term as a genre by bands, review sites, online stores, etc. This article, Post Rock 101, seems to recognize it as a subgenre alongside art rock and math rock. I'm not sure exactly how much sourcing would meet the threshold of notability, but if enough can't be found, all the articles linking to this one need to be adjusted too, at least. —Piet Delport (talk) 2010-01-31 05:35


 * Delete, another sub-subgenre with hopelessly muddled inclusion criteria. Hairhorn (talk) 05:42, 31 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - Like "brutal death metal," no sourcing = no article.--WaltCip (talk) 16:51, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - not quite a case of WP:NEO, I don't think, but I believe that the spirit of that guideline is equally applicable here.  Cocytus   [»talk«]  00:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
