FAQ About The Influence of Post-Punk on Modern Indie Music

A common misconception is that post-punk and indie music are indistinguishable or that one is simply an extension of the other. While post-punk laid much of the groundwork for indie music, including an emphasis on experimentation and DIY production, indie music encompasses a broader spectrum of sounds and influences. Another misconception is that post-punk was purely a British movement, though it actually had significant contributions from American and other international bands.
