Post-Punk

Post-Punk is a genre of rock music that originated in the late 1970s, primarily in the United Kingdom. It was a reaction to the more polished sound of the preceding punk rock era and a move towards a more experimental and diverse style. The genre is characterized by dark, often abrasive guitar-driven sounds and a focus on unusual, off-kilter rhythms and structures. Common elements include distorted guitars, jagged rhythms, angular melodies, and disjointed vocals. Post-Punk bands often used synthesizers and other electronic instruments to create their sound.
