History of Post-punk Revival


The term "post-punk" was originally coined to describe groups of this era who took punk and experimented with more challenging musical structures, lyrical themes, and a self-consciously art-based image, while retaining punk's initial iconoclastic stance.
The turn of the 21st century saw a post-punk revival in British and American alternative rock, which soon started appearing in other countries, as well. The earliest sign of a revival was the emergence of various underground bands in the mid-'90s. However, the first commercially successful bands – The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, Editors and Neils Children – surfaced in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Modern post-punk is more commercially successful than in the 1970s and 1980s; however clubs continue to air the original post-punk bands.
The original punk scene came from Britain and it was common to have these features in the music video fit for this genre:
Dr Martens
Handheld camera
Fast Movement
Vivid colour
Iconic images (British landmarks)
Lasers
Dark eye makeup
Signs of rebellion
