postpunks
Post-punk is a broad genre of rock music that emerged in the late 1970s, following the initial wave of punk rock. While retaining punk's DIY ethos and often its confrontational attitude, post-punk musicians expanded upon its sonic and thematic boundaries. They incorporated elements from a variety of genres including dub, funk, disco, electronic music, and avant-garde art.
Lyrically, post-punk often explored more introspective, intellectual, and politically charged themes than its punk predecessors. Subjects
