Been trying to listen to a lot more post-punk lately but it's gotta be this

What is post punk

>>72654964
Who knows what these music nerds babble on about? It all sounds the same to me. The only two genres are rock and shit.

Shit I always forget about Script of the Bridge. That album is unbelievably good. Is the rest of their discography worth listening to?

Been listening to the first three Wire albums lately, Pink Flag is great but pic related and 154 might still be a little beyond me. Definitely going to give both another listen though

>>72655157
I love these suggestions. Got any more?

>>72655313
this is new wave, dingus

Idk if this counts as post-punk or not but I figure it's close enough
Just listened to it for the first time and I can't believe it flew under my radar this long, so fucking good

there's a band called Omni from ATL. have a record called Deluxe. hippest post punk angular shit i've heard in years. would kill to make songs that effortlessly cool.

Too many choices especially when you include goth, but I would say these would be my top choices

Middle Class - Homeland
Comsat Angels - Sleep No More
Felt - Splendour of Fear
Asylum Party - Borderline
Chrome - Red Exposure

There's honestly a ton of albums to find - too many gems from the 70s and 80s

I think my favorite post-punk album that's come out fairly recently is Protomartyr - Agent Intellect. Preoccupations wasn't bad either

I sometimes wonder whether post-punk is a revisionist term only popularly used in our time, and that someone tuned into music during the late 70s to mid 80s wouldn't know what the fuck the term meant

I sometimes wonder if people actually use the internet to research a topic before posting about it.

>>72658798
>>72658849
The answer is actually mixed. Most of the original post-punk bands actually hated the term because they just thought of themselves as the artier punk bands, and punk always had an artsy side. Groups like the Pop Group hate it, and I think Wire find it bizarre. And yes it was applied retroactively to them. However, it's notable that the Scottish post-punk scene of bands like Josef K actually embraced the term because they saw themselves as separate from punk, like they're what comes after ("punk cleaned the slate, and we were building something new now that it had been cleared"). It's notable that they didn't feel very connected to punk themselves because Scotland didn't really have a punk scene, save for a few bands like the Skids.

>>72658927
Did the term "post-punk" actually exist back then?
My understanding was they got wrapped up in either New Wave or "New Musick"

Post-punk was being used as early as 1977 about The Jam. Look at them, they might have sounded punky at first but they weren't really following the bin bag and safety pin aesthetic.
