is a genre that evolved in the late 1970s, blending punk’s raw energy with experimental sounds, dark atmospheres, and introspective lyrics. Known for its angular guitar riffs, driving basslines, and often minimalistic style, post-punk explores themes of alienation and modern life. Influential bands like Joy Division, The Cure, and Siouxsie and the Banshees crafted the genre, pushing boundaries and inspiring a wave of alternative rock and indie music.
