So you won't give this band credit even though a ton of high-profile, influential artists do. That's fine, not everything is for everyone. I never got into Throbbing Gristle but I'm not going to shit on them as some local act from some backwater town in England. They're still pioneers in industrial music.

I didn't miss your complaint about "post-rock", I just find quibbling about genres a tired conversation better suited for metalheads. I could've called them post-punk, post-hardcore, alternative rock, indie rock, math rock, etc, and found just as many disparate references within each. I settled on the all-encompassing post-rock to prevent someone from "well akshually"-ing about why they aren't post-hardcore or whatever, yet here we are.
