List Of Post-punk Bands
Post-punk is a musical movement that began at the end of the 1970s, following on the heels of the initial punk rock "explosion." The styles of music were diverse, but all had an influence from punk rock. The essential period that is most commonly cited as post-punk falls between the years 1978–1984. After 1984, numerous bands continued to release music in this style, but with the advent of alternative rock as a more catch-all term for underground bands in the mid-'80s, they were not always referred to as post-punk.
Post-punk revival is a movement in the 2000s that drew in part on the conventions of the original post-punk sound from the early 1980s, as well as '90s genres such as shoegazing, Britpop, garage revival, and post-hardcore, as well as '80s New Wave. Thematically it is often an extension of and reaction to the more pop-oriented punk music of the 1990s, and has been especially tied to the New York City and London music scenes.

“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
—Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
