Post Human: Nex Gen (stylised as POST HUMAN: NeX GEn) is the seventh studio album by the British rock band Bring Me the Horizon.

The album received mostly positive reviews from critics upon release. It features guest contributions from Aurora, Underoath, Lil Uzi Vert and Daryl Palumbo.

Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic has noted the band combining many genres in the album, "tossing in hyperpop flourish, pop-punk energy, glitchy electronic chaos, hardcore aggression, death growls, pop choruses, and anything else the band could think of, channeling everyone from Sum 41 and KMFDM to Charli XCX and Poppy." Other comparisons made included the Used, the Smashing Pumpkins, and Deftones.

Post Human: Nex Gen received positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 84 out of 100, based on 6 reviews, indicating "critical acclaim". Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic, called the album, "one of the most rewarding and indulgent releases in Bring Me the Horizon's post-Sempiternal era." According to Tom Kingsley of Clash, "[the] experimentation doesn't always work, but it's successful often enough to make 'Nex Gen' an album worthy of deep and repeated listens." Ed Walton of Distorted Sound felt the album "was absolutely worth the wait", and called it a "perfect continuation from what Survival Horror gave us." According to Ali Shutler of Dork, "the whole record flows on the right side of chaos...It's urgent, but never oppressive." Ben Beaumont-Thomas writing for The Guardian, called it "a defining album of our digitally overloaded era." According to Nick Ruskell of Kerrang!, "BMTH have proven themselves equal to matching the creative demands it's placed on them."

Writing for Metal Hammer, Emily Swingle called the album "Chaotic, confusing and nonsensical", and "feels like it shouldn't work – but, surprisingly, that's also why it does." Rishi Shah of NME described it as "an album that is such a bombardment of sound and colour", and considered it to be worth the four-year wait. Nick Reilly of Rolling Stone called it "an endlessly creative rock epic that shows the Bring Me juggernaut is in no danger of slowing down". Sputnikmusic was less positive stating, "How does one band manage to rip off Deaf Havana, Deftones, Boston Manor, Enter Shikari, Porter [Robinson], Green Day, Radiohead, MGK, Iggy Pop and DreamWeaver, feature Underoath, Aurora, Lil Uzi Vert, Daryl Palumbo...and be this goddamn boring?" According to Tyler Rubke of Wall of Sound, "Post Human: Nex Gen is a quintessential Bring Me the Horizon experience and undoubtedly one of their most inventive and diverse records to date."{{cite web|first=Tyler|last=Rubke|url=https://wallofsoundau.com/2024/05/24/bring-me-the-horizon-post-human-nex-gen-album-review/|title=Bring Me The Horizon – Post Human: Nex Gen (Album Review)|work=Wall of Sound|date=24 May 2024|access-date=27 May 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240525191706/https://wallofsoundau.com/2024/05/24/bring-me-the-horizon-post-human-nex-gen-album-review/|archive-date=25 May 2024|url-status=live}}
