"While it never solidified as a concise genre, post rock emerged in the early '90s from the work of a few disgruntled artists who did away with the worn out formula of rock & roll for the sake artistic expression and delving into peculiar new musical horizons. Since then, the movement has grown in volume and recognition enough that we might have at least a working definition of this take on music, but not so much to have had a clear heyday and a chance to grow stale, as there are still many musicians, fledgelings and veterans alike, who make great music true to the movement's ideas, which are no less relevant today than they were almost three decades ago."
