Post-punk is a type of rock music that emerged from the punk rock movement of the 1970s. The term refers to music that draws inspiration from elements of punk, including its musical energy, ideological provocation, and DIY approach, while moving beyond its particular sonic characteristics, preoccupations, and cultural affiliations.〔(The Quietus )〕 Though varying across regions and artists, common characteristics of post-punk music included experimentation with production techniques and non-rock styles such as funk, dub reggae, electronic music, disco, and the avant-garde; the rejection of aesthetics perceived of as traditional, hegemonic, or rock-oriented in favor of novel and/or challenging features;〔〔(''The Guardian'' )〕 and the appropriation of ideas from modernist art, literature, politics, and theory into musical and pop cultural contexts. In some locations, most notably Northern England and Lower Manhattan, the development of post-punk accompanied the growth of efficacious subcultures, which played important roles in the production of art, multimedia festivals, fanzines, and independent labels related to the music. Early post-punk acts include Public Image Ltd, Pere Ubu, Joy Division, the Fall, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Devo, and Talking Heads. Seeing its greatest period of growth in the late 1970s and early 1980s, post-punk music was closely related to the development of genres such as gothic rock and industrial music, and would eventually provide the impetus for much subsequent alternative and independent music. In subsequent decades, the style has occasionally been subject to renewed popularity and musical revivals. ==Origins of term== The term "post-punk" was first used by journalists in the late 1970s to describe groups moving beyond punk's sonic template into disparate areas, though retrospective critical developments have effected some changes in its usage. Alex Ogg of ''The Quietus'' has pointed out that many groups now categorized as post-punk were initially subsumed under the broad umbrella of punk or new wave music, only becoming differentiated as the terms came to signify more narrow styles. Additionally, the accuracy of the term's temporal prefix "post" has been disputed, as various groups commonly labeled post-punk, such as Television and Cabaret Voltaire, in fact predate the punk rock movement.〔 Some critics, such as AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine, have employed the term to denote "a more adventurous and arty form of punk," while others have suggested it pertains to a set of artistic sensibilities and approaches rather than any unifying style.〔 Music journalist and post-punk scholar Simon Reynolds has advocated that post-punk be conceived as "less a genre of music than a space of possibility,"〔 suggesting that "what unites all this activity is a set of open-ended imperatives: innovation; willful oddness; the willful jettisoning of all things precedented or 'rock'n'roll.'"〔''Totally Wired: Post-Punk Interviews and Overviews.''
