Post-Punk

Post-punk is an avant-garde rock genre emerging in the late 1970s, building on punk's raw energy with eclectic influences from dub, funk, krautrock, disco, and art rock. Characterized by jagged angular rhythms, repetitive basslines, atmospheric production featuring heavy reverb, echo, and delay, and lyrics delving into alienation, politics, existential dread, societal critique, and urban isolation.
