Post-punk

Post-punk is a rock music movement with its roots in the late 1970s, following on the heels of the initial punk rock explosion of the mid-1970s. The genre retains its roots in the punk movement but is more introverted, complex and experimental. It found a firm place in the 1980s independent scene, and led to the development of genres such as gothic rock, industrial music and alternative rock.

Joy Division is post-punk but they are also very overrated, all those bands up here in the list deserve at least as much credit as joy division. from criticis, musicians and the general public.

Interpol does actually belong up there. Just because they have a more modern take on post-punk and were not part of the initial wave (and, gasp, are popular!) doesn't mean the tag is inappropriate for them [2] aka "omguh dei mus be populr, deir from the 00s n i don liek em so dei cann be a "reel" pos pun ban!!!!11 'LOL'"
