Postpunk

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre

Postpunk · Post-punk kept the energy and do-it-yourself attitude of punk but let go of the three chords. Joy Division from Manchester released their records on the local label Factory; in New York, Talking Heads showed that rock could be nervous, ironic and danceable. After the death of Ian Curtis in 1980, Joy Division carried on as New Order.
