When punk began to have a defined sound about 1976, several bands decided to take the basic speed and energy of punk and experiment with more complex structures, more synthesizers, and [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|fusions with other genres]]. These included, but were not limited to, dub, Krautrock, funk, and even [[Irony|disco, basically the opposite of punk]]. Some of these bands included [[Joy Division]], Gang of Four, [[The Fall (

Eventually, post-punk petered out when the original bands turned away from its sound (the Curtis-less [[Joy Division]] became the synth-based [[New Order]]; Talking Heads became a new-wave pop band; The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees and many other bands became goth pioneers, etc.) and went in several musical directions. One of these directions was the more heavily-stylized [[Goth Rock]].
Recently, post-punk has had a bit of a revival in indie rock as of late, with bands such as Interpol, Modest Mouse, The Libertines and [[Franz Ferdinand]] having commercial success. When people talk about more commercial, mainstream indie rock, or so-called "NME bands" (due to the magazine promoting these bands heavily), this is frequently the kind of thing they mean.
