Talking Heads are the standard for classifying bands as either New Wave or Post-Punk

Talking Heads are the standard for classifying bands as either New Wave or Post-Punk.
If a band is artsier than Talking Heads, they're post-punk. If they're poppier, they're new wave.

i wish this wasn't true

so what makes Talking Heads then?

progressive dreamfunk

That seems mostly correct.
But post punk also shares the spectrum with goth stuff. For that we could use The Cure?

What's something that's exactly like Remain in Light but artsier?

Eno
That one album Jerry Harrison did around the same time

Siouxsie Sioux is a better post-punk/goth spectrum benchmark

Swell Maps? Nowhere near as groovy as RiL but they're definitely artsy.

>post-punk and new wave distinct genres on some sort of continuum
this is just pure autism

they were just different names for the same music until the whole RYM/iTunes generation came along and wanted to classify everything with autismal precision

>Anything-punk
>Artsy
Nope

>making a specific style of music easier to find is somehow autistic

you're the autist buddy boy

because tears for fears sound a lot like pop group. It's not even close of being the same type of music, the new wave genre might be post-punk but it's definitely strict to a certain sort of sound meanwhile post-punk in general is much more out there and fluid

Yes it is, you ignoramus.

Who gives a fuck?

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
Byrne/Eno Collab album made around the same time as RIL but you get more patrician points because it lacks vocals, was ahead of the time with regards to sampling, and is more indulgant

So what is U2?

Shit.

Are you from Sup Forums?

No, I'm from the real world where this kind of pedantic shit doesn't matter.

I wish Eno never touched TH, seriously he just ruined everything

talking heads were only ever good with eno

what is orange juice?

The product of juicing oranges.

>band start with really energic cool sound
>everybody love it

>Eno enter & add a bunch of his plagiarism magic
>band its now just recognized as dorky White dudes trying to play black people music.
Damn...

>pedantic shit
Oh okay you a troll trying to be funny. Nice. Ignored

>he bought the Sup Forums meme
holy shit

>"ignored"
>replied

No but seriously this shit is fucking stupid. Only teenagers obsessed with appearing knowledgeable fuss over genre definitions.

Jangle
Yet another axis in the n-dimentional space that is post-punk

what the fuck is early devo then

shit

There are plenty of post-punk bands that are less artsy than Talking Heads solely because of Fear of Music and Remain In Light.

Literally produced their 3 best albums
