Post-Rock/Experimentalism
Internet site, All Music Guide (AMG) describes post-rock as "the dominant form of experimental rock during the '90s, a loose movement that drew from greatly varied influences and nearly always combined standard rock instrumentation with electronics. Post-rock brought together a host of mostly experimental genres - Kraut-rock, ambient, prog-rock, space rock, math rock, tape music, minimalist classical, British IDM, jazz (both avant-garde and cool), and dub reggae, to name the most prevalent - with results that were largely based in rock, but didn't rock per se."
