Post-punk
Post-punk er en bred genre rockemusikk som oppsto fra punkebevegelsen på slutten av 1970-tallet. Denne bevegelsen var nært beslektet med utviklingen av musikksjangre som gotisk rock, nypsykedelisk musikk, no wave, og industriell musikk.
Post-punkmusikerne stod i opposisjon til pompøs mainstream-rock som blant andre The Eagles, Emerson, Lake & Palmer og Electric Light Orchestra spilte. De eksperimenterte i stedet med å tilføre punkmusikken elementer fra elektronisk musikk og svart dansemusikk, og tok i bruk innovative innspillingsteknikker.[1] Musikken handlet ofte om kunst og politikk, og post-punkerne var inspirert av kritisk teori, modernistisk kunst og litterær modernisme.[2][3] Det utviklet seg miljøer rundt musikken som opprettet uavhengige plateselskap eller skapte visuell kunst, multimedia-forestillinger og fanziner.
Tidlige eksempler er grupper som Siouxsie and the Banshees, Wire, Magazine, Gang of Four, Public Image Ltd, The Pop Group, Joy Division, Throbbing Gristle, The Slits, Cabaret Voltaire, The Cure, The Fall, Au Pairs, Talking Heads og Pere Ubu.[4] På midten av 1980-tallet var post-punkbølgen i ferd med å flate ut, men den hadde banet vei for ny-pop og ikke minst alternativ rock.

Or perhaps Wire's decision to turn from a quintet into a quartet and slow down the songs in January 1977»; Reynolds (2013), s. 210, sitat: «... the 'post-punk vanguard'—overtly political groups like Gang of Four, Au Pairs, Pop Group ...»; Kootnikoff (2010), s. 30, sitat: «[Post-punk] bands like Joy Division, Gang of Four, and the Fall were hugely influential»; Cavanagh (2015), s. 192–193, sitat: «So far this year [1979] Peel has played several bands – Gang of Four, Cabaret Voltaire, the Cure, PiL, Throbbing Gristle – who will be synonymous with post-punk, but perhaps the most important ... are Joy Division»; Bogdanov, Woodstra & Erlewine (2002), s. 1337, sitat: «Their music [Pere Ubu] ... set the pace for much of American post-punk ... One of the only American post-punk bands to reach both a large cult audience and the mainstream were Talking Heads»; Cateforis (2011), s. 26, sitat: «Writers like Jon Savage threw their loyalties behind the more overtly experimental and radical musical deconstructions of groups like Devo, Throbbing Gristle, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Slits, and Wire.»
