Why was post-punk so much better than punk?

punk was made by kids
post punk by intellectuals

>>73540992
it really wasn't. At best it was an embryonic form of goth rock, you just prefer it because it had lots of homosexual fuccbois for you to fantasize about.

are the damned punk or post-punk and what is post-punk

>>73541032
bait

>>73541025
rely maks me thonk

>>73541032
Or I really love dark, sad, atmospheric rock music that reminds me of autumn. Are you sure you're not the gay one?

>>73541059

>Why was post-punk so much better than punk?
all post-punk did was ripoff dub and new-wave and add shitty watered down goth aesthetics.
with all that
the wire is still an amazing band. best post-punk artist for sure

>>73541080
that would be conceivable, but the fact that many other genres of rock do it much better than post-punk invalidate that hypothesis

that only leaves homosex as a possibility

>>73541025
danke for the goldenheimmerschmalzenslughs!

Calling post-punk "punk" is almost an insult to the music. Punk is so poppy and simplistic and juvenile. Post-Punk is art music.

>>73541128
You put the "post" in "post-punk" and "posture".

>>73541113
Post-punk is watered-down punk, watered down goth, and watered-down new wave

its only lasting contributions to culture were fashion-related (Joy Division T-shirt and the Hedi Slimane YSL fuccboi look)

Unknown Pleasures is unironically one of my favorite albums.

post-punk is barely a genre most of the time

>>73541262
catch-all term you can namedrop to blow steam up each others' asses.

Top 5 favorite post punk bands. Go.

Because you're a fucking pussy who was never punk to begin with, faggot

Punk was just a bunch of anarchists that didn't know how to rightly play guitar and write songs.

Post-punk was a bunch of anarchists that like punk but knew how to play guitar and write songs.

Industrial > post-punk

>>73543401
Post-Punk>No Wave>Industrial

>>73541871
Those both sound awesome honestly

>>73540992
One could play their instruments. One couldn't.

Simple as that.

U2 was post-punk right?

>>73541240
If you just said it was one of your favorite albums no one would think you were being ironic. It's a famous album.

>>73543873
Yes, quality post-punk
>>73543740
No Wave was the best though.

>>73544050
No Wave wasn't a very diverse genre though. Post Punk has the edge in that regards, lots of diversity. They're pretty close though.

>>73541315
Devo
New Order
Pere Ubu
Orange Juice
Wire

If they count replace Pere Ubu with Xiu Xiu

hardcore is the best sub genre of punk

unironically

>>73540992
protopunk is the best punk
