Yeah, the whole idea of punk seems to be against what punk became. As far as I'm concerned, and as much as I like plenty of punk bands, post-punk is what punk really became. Becoming something truly different and not falling into the traps of preconceived notions of what a band should sound like are what post-punk was all about and what punk was NOT about after the first wave or two.
