Parent Genre: rock

American post-rock is a genre of instrumental music that blends elements of rock, ambient, and classical music. It often features soaring guitar melodies, intricate drum patterns, and atmospheric soundscapes. The genre is characterized by its use of dynamics, with songs building to intense climaxes before fading back into quieter, more introspective passages. The music is often cinematic in scope, with a focus on creating a mood or atmosphere rather than conveying a specific message or narrative.
