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 (band)|The Fall]] and Killing Joke. This became known as post-punk. Several other post-punk bands were formed from regular punk bands; such as Magazine, formed by Howard Devoto from the Buzzcocks, and [[Public Image Ltd]], formed by the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten. Even [[The Clash]] were inspired by its experimental nature at times.
Line 8:
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.
