    Basic categories suffice for me. I do have a couple of sub-genres in my music library, but I don't go out of my way to categorize them that way.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I'm a total musicfag yet the whole subgenre thing always eluded me.
    Alternative is more modern and liked by the mainstream. If you were to listen to an alternative radio or channel, you'd hear music that you could most likely find on mainstream music channels like fuse.

    Prog rock, like the title suggests, is music that progresses within the song. The structure of the song is very different from mainstream music. It is likely for the music to not keep the same pace through out its entirety. They like to keep their music dramatic and show-offish.

    As for post rock, I couldn't help you. I never understood the "post" prefix in music genres.

    post-x means something that is beyond X.

    post-rock then is beyond rock. It may have roots in it, but as a descendant, you wouldn't recognize it. Or that's how it was explained to me.

    post-rock = beautiful wandering melodies, maybe words, probably not, idk. I like it!
