>Bunch of fashion obsessed poseurs hang out in aesthetically pleasing urban areas for photoshoots and occasionally play poppy hooks with boring gloomy vocals
nah
Zachary Harris
Duh.
Every "post" genre is better than the regular version.
Sebastian Brooks
that's wrong
post-punk is an awkward transition point between punk and 80s genres such as new wave, goth rock and EBM
Only 20-something fuccbois who bought overpriced SLP jackets and skinny jeans in the late 2000s will claim otherwise because they have buyer's remorse and believe that the only way to validate their purchase is to make everybody else believe that they're the inheritors of a "patrician" music/fashion trend of yesteryear, when in truth they just got conned into trying to dress like The Killers and other embarrassing 2000s pop rock bands.
Ryan King
Depends on the band.
Liam Myers
Nobody is as "fashion obsessed" as trve punks.
Jordan Cooper
As Boy George and Steve Strange put it, punks were fashion victims.
Isaiah Diaz
post-punk is what happens when you kinda want to be punk, but don't have the balls to dress punk, so you pretend that you've grown out of punk and into something more advanced, even though the actual successors of punks were new romantics.
Levi Nelson
Yeah. Japan, Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran are punk as fuck.
Ayden Cruz
I said they were the SUCESSORS of punks
punk rock was all about fashion anyway
Benjamin Jenkins
Punk Rock is the same boring shit played all the time on it's 3 chords.
It loses it's novelty after 6 songs
Post-Punk actually innovated and brought some cool shit like Minimal Synth, No Wave, Industrial, Gothic Rock, Synthpop, Coldwave
Gavin Green
Opposite day?
Logan Clark
How can you really compare the two? Doesn't make any sense.
There are great punk bands and great post-punk bands.
Ian Morgan
At least early on, Duran Duran did have a palpable tie with (the poppier side of)punk.
The whole concept of their first album was fusing punk with disco music.
Levi Bell
punk: a return to the rock and roll attitude that was being co opted by rich fags and their prog rock, only musical genre at the time that was political, (sorry p4k disco sucked it isnt racism, its class war bitch)
Postpunk: rich collge art fags steal punk and turn it super fucking gay, birth goth,new romantics, lose the rock attitude again
Hardcore: Kids who didnt grow up with punk are jelouse and restart the scnes and are hardcore about it mayne, return to rock and roll attitude
Pop punk: punk finally dies and does the exact oppiste of what its meant to do, be famous and successful, embraces sounding good and capitalism
Folk punk: a return to the sneering in your face rock attitude, lower class, grimey, crusty, homeless, anti capitalist.

The vast majority of the most widely respected post-punk bands(The Fall, The Birthday Party, PIL, The Sisters Of Mercy, Joy Division etc.) were working class or lower middle class though.

What bands are even classified as this
Jeremiah Miller
>Many post-punk artists were initially inspired by punk's DIY ethic and energy,[7] but ultimately became disillusioned with the style and movement, feeling that it had fallen into commercial formula, rock convention and self-parody.[19] They repudiated its populist claims to accessibility and raw simplicity, instead seeing an opportunity to break with musical tradition, subvert commonplaces and challenge audiences.[20][7] Artists moved beyond punk's focus on the concerns of a largely white, male, working class population[21] and abandoned its continued reliance on established rock and roll tropes, such as three-chord progressions and Chuck Berry-based guitar riffs.[22] These artists instead defined punk as "an imperative to constant change", believing that "radical content demands radical form".[23]
Littrrly the sjw faggot college kids of their day that hate lower class people
Nathan Powell
Evan Davis
maybe OP has a point desu
Jayden Jackson
Well... yeah!
Xavier Lopez
>Folk punk
Xavier Rivera
>Littrrly the sjw faggot college kids of their day that hate lower class people
>Joy Division, who openly flirted with fascist imagery and whose frontman was a Thatcherite
>Mark E. Smith, who openly talked about how much he loathed rich college socialists in interviews and eventually fell out with Rough Trade because of their college socialist politics
>Killing Joke, who wrote tribute songs to the likes of Yukio Mishima and whose equal contempt towards communism and capitalism resulted in them getting accused of being a neo-Nazi band by overzealous leftists well into the 80s
Not every post-punk band was Gang Of Four, dude.
Nathan Scott
this, idk what other user is on about
post punk for the most part was just punk bands that got bored of punk and decided to go somewhere else sonically
e.g siouxsie and the banshees
Luke Collins
fans of post-punk are easily the most pretentious music fans - obsessed with the idea of genre and grand convoluted narratives.
Nathaniel Bennett
>Don't have the balls to be a walking joke
That's more like it. Find out how the punk boom started and you'll answer your own question. Let's also not pretend that punk had any real message, starting with Sex Pistols.
Xavier Powell
Please be a shitpost.
Charles Jackson
How dare someone like a different genre of music? The rascals, aye?
