| | Post-punk: an examination of the underground music movement |
| | Thus punk and post-punk exist as musical movements. | | | More over, the punks were marked by their attitude, where as most post-punk musicians can be marked by their lack of attitude. | | | 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. |

| | Post-punk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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. | | | 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. |

| | "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. |

| | The punk era ends; post-punk is born (1 msgs) | | | As the restrictive measures of punk, and all the cliched fashion statements it entailed, came to a close, post-punk groups took up the gauntlet. | | | The focus of rock histories and television retrospectives is often on the punk years themselves and with good reason; punk forever changed rock music, and allowed true, rebellious rock and roll to become basic and non-commercialized once again. |

| | Dutch Post-Punk |
| | 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. |

| | k-punk: Nihil Rebound: Joy Division |
| | Postpunks break from lumpen punk r and r consisted in large part in an ostentatiously flagged return-reclaiming of Black Pop: funk and dub especially. | | | In fact, though, the retreat from punk modernism into postmodernism, from avant-Pop to New Pop, had been almost immediate, Mark claimed. | | | Give their earliest songs a casual listen and you could easily mistake their tone for the curled lip spiky punk outrage, but, already, it is as if Curtis is not railing against injustice or corruption so much as marshalling them as evidence for a thesis that was, even then, firmly established in his mind. |

| | 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. | | | Wires short, dense songs were misinterpreted as standard punk rants. |

| | Minding Their Own Business: Erase Errata, The Rapture, and the Return of Post-Punk |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | Punk groups like the Clash and the Sex Pistols had lost their edge and developed a new set of conventions as confining as those that they once venomously opposed, and traditional 12-bar rock 'n' roll had long since stopped offering opportunities for musical innovation. |
