What the fuck do the different waves of post rock mean?? Why don't other genres have waves?
answer me bitch
Heavy Metal has waves too I think
1st wave post-rock is distinguished as post-rock that isn't actually post-rock. They're other genres that just happen to fall into the category. 2nd wave post-rock is post-rock that is fully devoted to the style and there's no ambiguity to it. 3rd wave is just 3rd wave, don't worry about it.

'Wave' is to do with generations.
The first wave is the defining wave, before the first wave you often have the 'proto' bands.
Examples:
Slint - First wave math rock, defining band for the genre
My Bloody Valentine - both 'proto shoegaze' as their first releases set the foundations for what was to come, then First Wave shoegaze together with Slowdive, Ride and so on
Explosions In The Sky - third wave post-rock, really shit band that have not improved on the first two waves and are at this point simply copycats, often genres run their course in the third wave as this is the point at which artists begin copying without as much creative input.

this is wrong
1st wave post rock is still post-rock, same with any genres. It's the bands that come before the first wave that are the 'proto' bands.
Punk is a great example: You had Iggy And The Stooges who were a 'proto-punk' band, not quite punk,
but it was the Sex Pistols who defined first-wave punk, and they built on the foundations that Iggy had set.

also I'm not actually 'Alec' I just impersonate him in other threads because he doesn't know what tripcodes are and I forget to take the name out of the field.
this is the dumbest thread on this board right now.
I hope all of you have brains that still have the capacity to grow and change because otherwise you should consider ending your lives.
Some other genres have waves, see ska. Some others just have "revivals", see post-punk and garage rock. Some just have different sounds in different eras, but don't have specific names for these sounds, see RnB.
Please try to be more polite in the future.

post rock isn't a real genre. it's a bullshit umbrella term that technically applies to any type of guitar music that doesn't sound like traditional rock. not to say there aren't some good genres that fall under this category, but it's way too broad to be a legitimate music genre. it's like saying anything with an accordion in it is accordion-core. it's just useless categorization so hipsters can say they like some obscure type of music
