The post element is really just a way of saying that a band has taken punk and experimented with it. There is quite a lot of diversity in the genre, with stuff like Joy Division being more gothic and depressing to The Pop Group making off the wall freak out experimental jazz punk to The Fall who play along the lines of standard punk but bend it around to make their own sound.
