Depends on what the scope of the apocalypse is.
I had a humorous thought though. Because a lot of post apoc based in modern times benefit from the contrast of our technological advancements being rendered useless. A lot of post apoc has us having to drop non working electronic devices and return to farming, hand-made clothing, hunting for food, and fighting each other as resources are scarce.
If medieval peasants suffered an apocalypse... The break down in society might be less noticeable because they're already hand making their clothes and living off the earth. It'd be an interesting take but you'd have to be skilled to really articulate the impact. An apocalypse that nobody knew was happening because nobody really leaves home or travels much and their tools and weapons are still just tree branches made pointy.
