Music that followed punk (in its truest sense). Tended to follow similiar ideals/ideas to Punk but thrived upon experimentation of sound. Punk ripped the rulebook of music up and post-punk follwed. Punk said that it didn't matter how well you can play your instrument as long as you have ideas and have a go. Post-punk bands reacted against the thre chord thrash formula that punk had become and widened its scope of ideas. It is a catch-all term that refers to a lot of very different bands that made music using ideas pulled from different places.
Post-Punk bands include the Slits, Talking Heads, Gang of Four,
types of music include art-punk, no wave, goth, ska revival, mod revival, indie...

A Poseur Punk (commonly misspelled Poser Punk) is somebody who labels themselves Punk and tries to keep up with a modern definition of Punk, and may change his/her style to fit in. Punk is supposed to be about being yourself, and not trying to be 'trendy'. People think that the way somebody dresses or the music they listen to defines them and defines punk, but punk is about individuality and being comfortable with yourself. Usually, people who label others or themselves would be considered the actual Poseurs.
*Example*
Person 1: Oh my god! That person of there wishes they were punk, but they are just Poseur Punk. They shop at Hot Topic and listen to blink182!
Person 2: Get your own ideas, you loser. I'm not trying to be anything.

Get the Plunkett mug.Was a movement started in the 70s by bands like the Ramones, Clash, Sex Pistols, Casualties, Generation X, Mc5, Iggy and The Stooges etc. It was started in New York and made it's way to the UK around the year of 1975. It is now being ruined by bands like Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance etc. These people are more focused on looking the part than on the music and message that comes along with it. Maybe if they chilled out for awhile and were themselves they could actually be put into a position to put out an actual punk album. Other people probably wont agree with me but I Think Sum41 is a pretty decent "punk" band. Listen to the lyrics to Fat Lip and dare not to call them punk. Anyways, the stereotyped style includes things like
- Mohawks
- Multi-colored hair
- Tight jeans or ripped jeans
- Studded belts
- Peireced body parts
- Tattoos
You don't even have to look the part to be punk you just have to like the music and have the signature attitude,
- Defiant
- Politcally outspoken
- Anti-establishment
other traits I cannot think of.

Get the punk mug.punk is not hard, punk is not soft, punk is expression, if I want to listen to what I want to cause I feel it defines my persona and dont follow what everyone follows for the sake of meeting the norm, I am a punk, if I wear what I want because it defines me and doest try to be like everyone else to be "cool" I am a punk, if I do what ever the fuck I want to do, I am a punk, are you?
