About This Tool
Post-punk music appeared in the late 1970s. Many rock music artists got rid of the traditional elements and rules of punk music. They began to experiment with new styles such as funk, electronic music, jazz, and dance music. Famous post-punk bands include Siouxsie and the Banshees, Wire, Public Image Ltd, etc. They provided a foundation for the New Pop movement and the later alternative and independent genres.
