Neurosis - Dec. 29

[stewvee]

They cater towards a different Audience within the strands of Metal sub-genres, and in their case, they more Post/Sludge crowd.

anything prefixed with post is a flamin bag of dogshit.

[BlackRoija]

postal service metal. heavy music with all the energy and attitude of the average U.S. Mail clerk

Hmm...I know that for labeling purposes it is a nebulous genre for sure, but even taken at its most literal there was a ton of great shit in post punk:

PIL, Birthday Party, Gang of Four, the Fall, Gun Club, Wire, Killing Joke, Siouxsie, all the early Factory Records stuff...

But, yeah, other than post-punk, I would definitely agree that the use of "post" is pretty indicative of "booooo-riiiiing."

[SlashAndThrash]

never liked this band. and they are a big reason why most "metal" bands today want to be radiohead instead of deicide.

BOOYA

I think it's actually Mastodon that was the cause of it.

neurosis predates mastadong with their faggotry.

Oh, agreed. But the thing is, when we were buying and listening to those records, there was no such thing as "post punk." It was just "good shit."

Good point. It wasn't intentionally that genre, in contrast to bands that nowadays set out to be "above and beyond" whatever genre influenced them...or whatever the fuck it is that they do.

I remember when I started getting turned on to the kinds of bands that I listed above around 84 that they were usually called "alternative," because they weren't abbrasive and raw enough to be punk, but were far from the mainstream sound. It's funny how that term morphed to include everything from the Jesus Lizard to Nickleback.

[BlackRoija]

Nickelback is alternative

it's an ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT I WANT TO LISTEN TO

YES. Whereas Siouxsie or PiL or Gang of Four didn't set out to "sound like x," that's the step off pt now, to pigeonhole ones' music before it's even avail to a listener. So when band X tells you their music "is post-punk influenced and shares likenesses with GYBE and Radiohead," you know to file in the wastebasket.

Eh... I don't know if that's necessarily true. I don't think that most "post-metal" bands today play post-metal because they want to totally transcend the metal genre, I'm sure they just play it because they like it and it's what comes naturally to them. (Also, it's the fans that coined the name, not the bands; from what I've heard, a lot of those bands don't even like the label "post-metal") I could be wrong, though; it's just that your statement was a bit of a sweeping generalization.

[SlashAndThrash]

there is no such thing as post metal. only bad metal.
