Was the Post-Punk revival actually a thing? Because the more I think about it the more I realize most of the bands in that "movement" had no sonic similarities.

I have no clue why it got dubbed "post-punk" in the first place.
>>61195564
Arctic Monkeys never were a post-punk band
Whatever People Say is a garage rock/indie rock album
>>61195586
a lot if not all seminal members came from punk bands
sex pistols > pil
warsaw > joy division
or the band itself transitioned e.g. wire

think he was saying he doesn't understand the connection between that stuff and what came to be labeled 'post-punk revival'
>>61195666
>in the first place.
well this strongly indicates otherwise
>>61195688
i mean it's a thread specifically about 'post-punk revival' so it makes sense he'd be questioning the etymology of 'post-punk revival'
but hey, maybe you were right

this
I think it's bs to call something released 30 years after the 80s "post-punk"
>>61195586
Post-post punk?
>>61195781
why? nothing about post-punk means it has to be from the 80s
>>61195586
That happens with every label bands get, indie, grunge, britpop, all because of lazy journalist who don't want to describe a bands sound and just go "yeah, they sound really...eh... post.. punk... eh.. REVIVAL! yeah, that. what? they sound more like the Buzzcocks than post punk? who gives a shit!? in 7 years we're not gonna give a fuck about any of these bands".
