In one camp we have those who believe that not only is rock dead, but that its last vestiges have been so completely removed from any discussion of vital and important music that even the reappearance of its egg-headed cousin post-rock is as embarrassing as the reappearance of Lollapalooza.
In another camp, we have those insisting that rock is back - whether they cite its dance-punk, electroclash, garage, or punk form does not matter - and that the efforts of post-rockers to exploit its demise are thus premature and unnecessary.
