it was an explosion with lots of ramifications

it's one of those few genres whose tree left leaves that are as influential as the wood that gave them birth

>Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
>Just give me some more conventional post punk
>PiL - Metal Box
What is this?
>>
>>75181869
Wire is your essential post-punk band, good place to start
>>
don't bother majority of jd fans end up only liking jd and maybe gang of four.
>>
Big influence on post-punk. Through this album, people were inspired to modify the one-dimensionality of punk.

Highly recommended for your education.
>>
>>75182024
I don't get the hype of Joy Division
yes,it is influential and it's consistent.But it doesn't click,the only song I personally like is Disorder

I have listened to copies of them like Script of the Bridge or even New Order and they sound much more defined.

The First Issue
>>
>>75182154
How is Metal Box conventional by any stretch of the imagination? Do you believe casual fans of post punk and Joy Division also listen to PiL and Metal Box of all albums?
>>
>>75182199
Good one!
>>
>>75182205
Well where does it fit then? It's clearly not experimental enough to fit in that bunch. I'd say Metal Box is pretty conventional by post-punk standards and to say otherwise you can't possibly have much grasp on the genre
>>
>>75182221
I'd say some conventional post punk bands are Talking Heads, The Cure, Iggy Pop, The Cult and Gang of Four (after Entertainment!). Nowhere near as caustic as PiL.
>>
>>75182167
How is that pretentious faglon? Band on the run is the least pretentious album ever. It was the post-punk lot that utilized it for pretentious means.

Cant you see how the use of funk, disco and r&b rhythms coupled with melodic synths and tough guitar aswell as its interesting dynamics were a massive influence? Nothing was as sonically well rounded and ripe for extracting influence bar bowie.

Negating punk itself, band on the run and 76-77 bowie were by far the biggest catalysts on the post punk explosion. The first bands like the banshees joy division wire and magazine were bowie/iggy and band on the run derivatives. Furthermore bands like spandau ballet literally stole from band on the run.

Remember when he said psuedo intellectual? This is why.
>>
>>75182862
aren't cocteau twins the pioneers of shoegaze?
>>
>>75182930
Yeah, post-punk, goth rock and shoegaze were pretty much incestuous as fuck in the ewrly-mid 80s. Stuff like Blood Bitch is definitely not shoegaze, for example.

Post-punk is like clumsy new wave for people who are too insecure for synthpop and goth.
>>
>>75182997
But post-punk is basically goth, anon
>>
>>75182257
>th
>post punk
stop posting
>>
>>75182997
post punk includes Goth and New Wave is considered close to it or like a pop synth version.
>>
>>75183025
it's an awkward prototype for goth

>>75183062
yeah but pure post-punk is different
>>
>>75183085
Anon, you do realize the only distinction today is literally "do they dress in black?", right?
>>
>>75183085
the charts and recommended way to listen to it is obviously by the roots

New Wave showed the nature of the genre,not all the times,but it was pretty present.Power Corruption and Lies comes to my mind.

the only thing that has not been clearly defined is the revival
>>
>>75182843
Ofc its post-punk wtf are you talking about. Explain.
>>
>>75181981
Kek.

When will people learn that post-punk isnt a definable genre but a trend defined by the downfall of punk
>>
>>75182843
>>75183037
Great, you have no other contributions. Let's be happy you're able to derail a worthwile thread then.
>>
>>75182997
>Insecure for synth pop
You weren't talking about avant-garde music there.
>>
>>75183037
not an argument
>>
>>75182950
Dont conflate these as distinct genres. Post-punk refers to groups of bands that arose from declining punk scenes, shoegaze is a specific type of sound and gothrock is thematic/fashion.
>>
>>75183062
New wave is essnetily a label for bands that emerged from the commertialization of post-punk where synths grew as the big new instrument of chart music.

That song is an exception, do you have anything else by the Talking Heads that sounds even remotely similar?

talking heads do have a few songs with the stereotypical post-punk/goth sound (think of joy division)
but you have to understand post-punk is firstly a trend, not a style, and talking heads are undoubtedly part of this trend

whats post-punk about this song again?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU
>>
>>75183775
Post punk isnt a specific sound. It just seems to be bands that grew from the punk scenes during the late 70s and went arty and different in attitude.
>>
>>75183377
But that's not true at all.
