"Post-rock, Reynolds suggested, was opposed to notions of 'collective toil' and 'authenticity'; instead, it used musicians for a 'palette of textures' and, in doing so, rejected the ego of rock. Later, Reynolds would go further, claiming post-rock had 'given up the idea of mass success or even indie cult-hood, and accepted the idea of being marginal, forever'."
