The term can be used generically for any section that comes after a chorus, but more often refers to a section that has similar character to the chorus, but is distinguishable in close analysis.

Characterization Characterizations of post-chorus vary, but are broadly classed into simply a second chorus (in Peres's terms, a ''detached postchorus'') or an extension of the chorus (in Peres's terms, an ''attached postchorus'').
