Why are Talking Heads considered to be post-punk? They sound nothing like punk music or other post-punk bands like Joy Division.

post-punk covers a lot of ground
Samuel Brooks
you have no idea what post punk sounds like
Jeremiah Wood
No shit, tripfag here doesn't know. Take it the fuck off
Michael Wright
post-punk is a very broad genre
Mason Green
what would be the similar characteristics that all post-punk music has in common, then?
right now i feel like it's more of a buzzword than an actual therm

from the wikipedia article:
"Though the music varied widely between regions and artists, the post-punk movement has been characterized by its "conceptual assault" on rock conventions and rejection of aesthetics perceived of as traditionalist, hegemonic or rockist in favor of experimentation with production techniques and non-rock musical styles such as dub, electronic music, disco, noise, jazz, krautrock, world music and the avant-garde."
What this is telling me is post-punk is literally anything that isn't classic rock music.
wow, what a term this is
Wyatt Campbell
they're not post-punk, they're new-wave.
Kevin Robinson
it literally lists for you the particular genres post-punk takes its influence from, if you've ever listened to any you'd be able to recognise a lot of them in it
you're retarded

Mason Campbell
The two overlaps constantly.

post punk and new wave are very nearly synonymous
Jayden Davis
their first two albums are much closer to post-punk than anything afterwards
David Stewart
post-punk and new wave aren't really genres, they were movements. they were periods of time.
'post-punk' really just means the bands that evolved after punk music, which was obviously quite a wide bag, but there are similarities in attitudes and sounds you could draw between them.
Ethan Mitchell
they're both part of that wider alternative scene, which encompasses shit like synthwave, gothic rock, minimal synth and coldwave among others, but they aren't necessarily synonymous - new-wave tends towards pop grooves and more synth based stuff with a professional sheen, whereas post-punk is typically more guitar heavy, fast-paced and chaotic

that's impossible faggot, since many post-punk albums are no wave
Bentley Jackson

Ryder Howard

anybody who says this isn't a post punk album is an idiot (before Joy Division). just because Britain added dark characteristics to the genre doesn't mean only dark bands can be post-punk. The same thing happened to Blue Cheer with Black Sabbath.
