Why is "Post-Punk" even considered "Punk"?

Mondo Bungle · 05-27-2016, 05:10 PM

it was pretty forced considering the wording. Post metal =/= metal post

The answer is pretty simple.

Post Punk is the DIY ethic and unprofessional attitude of Punk but applied to genres outside of just the blues

If anything the "post" is what is questionable you could technically call it all just Punk

ESTIMATE: How many albums you heard?

I'd say there's plenty of post-punk bands that are very much punk, but a lot of them have grown away so much from punk they indeed barely sound like punk bands. They do still have that amateuristic DIY thing going on tho.

I can't. I'm saying this just from my recollection of browsing post punk bands, but I'm not the biggest fan of post-punk so I don't know many at all. However, I remember finding those to fit the broad umbrella of punk. It's just that with the majority I did not find it to be the case however. Plus, it's the same with post-hardcore. You have a bunch of bands with plenty of songs that are punk as ****, and some post-hardcore bands that I could barely consider hardcore punk. I've listened to more post-hardcore.
