The Post-Punk genre is a style of music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a reaction to the popular punk rock sound. It is characterized by a more experimental approach to songwriting, often incorporating elements of funk, jazz, and other genres. Two subgenres of post-punk are Emo and GOTH. Emo is a style of music that is emotionally charged and often incorporates elements of punk and indie rock. GOTH is a darker, more atmospheric style of music that draws influence from punk, gothic rock, and industrial music.
