post-punk
Last updated:
Description
Post-punk emerged in the late 1970s as artists moved beyond punk's raw simplicity toward more experimental sounds incorporating elements of art rock, electronics, and funk. The genre features angular guitars, driving bass lines, and atmospheric textures that create moody, introspective soundscapes. Its DIY ethos and dark aesthetic profoundly influenced alternative rock and indie music for decades to come.
