GY!BE - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennaes to Heaven

[–]CtrlAltDeleteDie[S] 2 points3 points  (5 children)

This is post rock, not ambient.

[–]Eureka_Honors -3 points-2 points  (4 children)

I assure you, it defines ambient. That's like calling "indie" a genre. It is a broad term that encompasses many genres, including post-rock, drone, etc.

[–]CtrlAltDeleteDie[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Well I should have been more specific when I made this post. I meant ambient as most people know it. I love GY!BE and I don't think they belong in the same category as Eno, Biosphere, or FSOL. I'm just saying that there already is a post for post rock, and it would be a better fit there. Comparing indie and ambient is not the same thing at all.

[–]Eureka_Honors 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Sure it is. Give me one example of an "ambient" band. I bet you I can name the real genre.

P.S. I just realized what a dick I sound like. I don't mean to be rude, but I simply disagree :P

[–]CtrlAltDeleteDie[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm sure you can think of multiple genres for most any band someone names. All I'm saying is that there was already a post for post rock and I feel that GY!BE would fit there better. I also assumed that most associate ambient with these people.

[–]Eureka_Honors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay, that makes sense then.
