What is Post-punk (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Eldritch@lemmy.world to c/postpunk@lemmy.world
 
 

Post-punk is a diverse genre that emerged from the cultural milieu of punk rock in the late 1970s. Originally called "new musick", the terms were first used by various writers in the late 1970s to describe groups moving beyond punk's garage rock template and into disparate areas. Sounds writer Jon Savage already used "post-punk" in early 1978. NME writer Paul Morley also stated that he had "possibly" invented the term himself. At the time, there was a feeling of renewed excitement regarding what the word would entail, with Sounds publishing numerous preemptive editorials on new musick. Towards the end of the decade, some journalists used "art punk" as a pejorative for garage rock-derived acts deemed too sophisticated and out of step with punk's dogma. Before the early 1980s, many groups now categorized as "post-punk" were subsumed under the broad umbrella of "new wave", with the terms being deployed interchangeably. "Post-punk" became differentiated from "new wave" after their styles perceptibly narrowed.

The genera itself being foundationally typified by groups such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, Wire, Public Image Ltd, the Pop Group, Cabaret Voltaire, Magazine, Pere Ubu, Joy Division, Talking Heads, Devo, Gang of Four, the Slits, the Cure, and the Fall. But not limited to. And has spun off many sub genera such as alternative rock, dark-wave, cold-wave, synth-wave, synth-pop, and some indie rock

Listening to it now and loving it. It's classic Corpus. Good classic goth rock releases seem in such short supply in recent years. To have one from a classic goth rock band no less is awesome.

It's that time of year. And there's hardly a more appropriate song for the season. I wish we had more from Creature Feature in recent years. But with talk of crowd funding an actual feature we may not have much longer to wait.

Chicken jockey! No but seriously he's been rocking it since before Mamoa. And back with another album of ethereal low-fi beats.

You knew it was coming with all the new singles being released. But now it's here. And it's good!

Been really digging this artist since they started releasing. But this is the track that sticks in my head. The stinger that sounds as if it was lifted straight from Gene loves jezabel's desire certainly doesn't hurt.

Somehow i only bumped into this band tonight. But they've been putting out singles since 2023. With their first full album only earlier this year. It's criminal how few views and listens they have at least on you tube. After all who isn't here for a little anti fascist death rock / post punk

You can never go wrong with surf-goth. A little Deadbolt, Desmond, or Satan's Pilgrims are good every day.

Glad to see new material coming out! Corpus is always good in my book. The track is a bit more polished and with a harder edge to it than I traditionally associate with them. But it's still solid. 🤟
