LinksLiege 11/09/18 1:59:10 AM #14:	WafflehouseJK posted... It's a very poorly defined genre overall tbh. I've always understood the "post-" genre prefix to imply it's taking the ideas of the parent sound and working them into a new context, or integrating a more varied set of influences. And in the case of post-grunge, that new context was watered-down bullshit. (For a lot of it, at least. Some is probably alright.) --- This is LinksLiege's signature.
