 | | Punk - The bands that broke through from 1976 - 1980 with the edge and diversity that defined punk. | | | Post Punk - The bands that carried on after the first wave, and the groups that diverged into different musical genres, including hardcore and industrial. | | | Pre Punk - These were the bands that were way ahead of their time, and were an important influence on all the groups that broke through in the punk era. |

| | Post-punk: an examination of the underground music movement |
| | The etymology of the word points to it being after punk, but that is not the meaning because punk music is stilling being made today. | | | They clearly had a lot of punk influence (their first album Confusion is Sex has a cover of the Stooges "I Wanna Be Your Dog"), but their obsession with avant-garde art and pop culture distanced them from the punks. | | | Thus punk and post-punk exist as musical movements. |

| | Post-punk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Yet as punk itself soon came to have a signature sound a few bands began to experiment with more challenging musical structures, lyrical themes, and a self-consciously art-based image, while retaining punk's initial iconoclastic stance. | | | During the first wave of punk, roughly spanning 1976–1978, bands such as the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Ramones, and The Damned began to challenge the current styles and conventions of rock music by stripping the musical structure down to a few basic chords and progressions with an emphasis on speed and attitude. | | | Typically more introverted, complex, arty, and experimental than classic punk rock or the more pop-oriented New Wave music, post-punk laid the groundwork for "alternative rock" by broadening the idea of what punk and underground music could do, incorporating elements of Krautrock, Jamaican dub music, American funk, and studio experimentation into the punk rock genre. |

| | "cutting up face papers go neon spiking" |
| | Even the name punk was being erased to escape stylistic constrictions : new wave, post-punk, new music, modern music, etc. Reid's `ransom note' lettering cut-up was labelled and categorized to the extent that Letraset easily could have released a `punk' typeface. | | | One must remember that whatever were the complex reasons that caused, determined and affected the punk explosion, the resulting `explosion' was expressed through music : the bands, the concerts, the magazines and fanzines, the fans and their dress, the records, the posters, the record covers. | | | This went in line with the exclusivity/originality/elitist notions affected by punk subculture that both the English rock press and the major record companies (most of whom had by 1977 scrambled to sign any punk band while the `fad' was hot) were attracted to. |

| | For it is 1979: after the death of punk, many young pop musicians suddenly feel the need to experiment, to invent and test new sounds and new methods of creating pop music, often with a minimum of technique and a maximum of ideas. | | | One of the most creative consequences of the punk movement was a brief, wide interest in musical experimentation. | | | Between 1977 and 1983, many young musicians experimented with song form, instruments (especially the suddenly inexpensive rhythm machines and synthesizers) and studio techniques, considerably extending the language of pop and rock music. |

| | For while punk has long been seen as a great cultural turning point, with its photogenic protagonists and their seemingly bold assault on the derided mid-1970s status quo, and has generated a literature to match, the more diffuse and ambitious musical movement that succeeded it in Britain and America has been neglected. | | | In 1976, while punk was still in its early stages, Newman and three others formed a band called Wire. | | | Wire’s short, dense songs were misinterpreted as standard punk rants. |

| | U.K. punk also inspired some artists to aim piss-takes back at the gobbing masses—Television Personalities' "Part Time Punks" and Mekons' "Never Been in a Riot" were great late-'70s anthems, targeted at a music that inspired but ultimately betrayed. | | | Post-punk and no wave juiced punk's volume and energy but sneered at its stripped-down sound, instead effetely tossing in avant-classical and extreme jazz flavors. | | | In the latter case, punk's original revolutionary promise came up short not commercially but aesthetically—it wasn't musically extreme enough for some. |

| | They incorporated the sounds of dub, funk, reggae, free jazz, krautrock, and disco to produce new musical hybrids referred to as "mutant disco," avant-funk, and art punk. | | | Sonically, their music often blended jarring vocals and jerkily angular guitar sounds with danceable beats and more experimental rhythms, and incorporated a new range of unconventional acoustic instruments. | | | While many a well-versed record nerd can reduce the post-punk movement to a concrete list of essential bands, record labels, and compilations, the genre's best critics emphasize that post-punk has always been, more than anything else, defined by a particular musical approach, a determination to challenge rock conventions and create something new and interesting. |

| | So, Green Day: Definitely no longer a punk band -- although that story line has been in development at least since 1994, when the "sellout" charges came fast and furious upon the release of "Dookie," an MTV-friendly album that racked up sales of about 10 million copies. | | | The long-running Northern California band then punctuated the proceedings with a bunch of pyrotechnics: There were flash pots and torch flames and spark showers and such (and if there isn't a rule about turning in your punk badge once you reach double-digit pyro cues in a single show, well, there should be). | | | Both were on full display Tuesday at Merriweather Post Pavilion, where Green Day performed material from last year's "American Idiot," a sharp, sociopolitical punk-rock opera that signaled a serious artistic growth spurt for a group previously known for caca jokes and songs about boredom, bong hits and masturbation. |
