Post-punk

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

The preferred music of coffee-drinking pseudo-punk university intellectuals, post-punk is the music nobody remembers from the 80s because there was too much shitty music to worry about already. Also highly prized by indie kids.

Also a lot of it is British for some unfathomable reason.

[edit] Seminal post-punk bands

Typical post-punk fan

Bauhaus - Arguably the first goth band. A bunch of fagtards who sing about fishcakes, people throwing flags, and overrated horror actors.
The Cure - Along with Bauhaus, these guys practically invented gothic music (thanks guys), and barely made enough passable material to fill a Greatest Hits CD.
Echo & The Bunnymen - A no-name band that sound exactly like The Doors. When the press pointed this out they covered People are Strange by The Doors to show they don't really sound similar. In fact, the cover sounds exactly like the original except played slightly worse.
ESG - Niggers who went to art-school and loved funk.
The Fall - The only good band to come out of post punk. THEY REALLY ARE GUYS THEY WRITE SONGS ABOUT HOUSES AND DRUGS AND CARS AND STUFF NO SERIOUSLY THEYRE THE GREATEST JUST LISTEN LISTEN CMON.
Gang of Four - Marxist rapping with funk guitar. As retarded as it sounds.
Joy Division - Remembered for Ian Curtis' retarded spastic dance and Love Will Tear Us Apart and then the singer becoming an hero well before that Nirvana guy did it. Band name also refers to Nazis keeping groups of women to systematically rape. After Curtis died the band reformed under the name New Order (another Nazi reference) and made shitty Nazi synthpop.
Magazine - The band Joy Division ripped off. The singer sang even more fucking awfully than Ian Curtis, however, and was even less well known (probably because he forgot to become an hero).
Public Image Ltd - As if the world hadn't heard enough of Johnny Rotten after The Sex Pistols, he reformed under Public Image Ltd who performed more 'experimental' music, which basically ruined the whole ethic and point of The Sex Pistols. Also it was dogshit.
Television - Listen to Marquee Moon if you want to be bored for 74 minutes.
Tubeway Army/Gary Numan - This is what happens when you give a homosexual a keyboard and a too many Kraftwerk tapes. The result is obnoxious bleepy pretentious music that even hipsters find annoying. He now is sucking Trent Reznor's dick and making shitty industrial music.
U2 - Whereas the rest of the post-punk scene was trying to make interesting new music U2 made boring new music but then had a really expensive stage show which impressed idiots. Only a complete fucking moron would call himself The Edge, but that is what the guitarist did, and proceeded to play the most simplistic guitar ever but with an over-expensive effects pedal!!! WOW!!!
Virgin Prunes - Drunk Irish art-fags who wank off to eachother while wearing loincloths. A favorite for goths to have buttsecks to.

[edit] Post-punk revival

Contrary to the idiots who call modern music "indie shit", it is in fact post-punk rip-off shit. The Arctic Monkeys are rip-offs of Television Personalities, Franz Ferdinand of Gang of Four, Interpol of Joy Division and The Killers of dog turd. Yes, just dog turd. She Wants Revenge also shares the same 16 year old girl lyric writer as HIM. Even more confusingly, despite all the aforementioned bands being rip-offs of an older genre, none of them sound like each other at all, the only similarities being that they are all pseudo-intellectual indie-chav scum. However, if you claim post-punk revival doesn't exist you will be ripped apart by college kids who listen to Bloc Party and NME editors.
