Personally I feel post punk is just Punk that doesn't want to sound like 1977 forever, journos and marketing wanted to draw a line so they did. PiL, Wire, Magazine, Joy Division, Killing Joke etc have a distinct sound from earlier punk but then Pistols sound as different to the Dead Kennedys as any post punk bands do
This is just in Sutekhland though & I don't think less of anyone for not buying into the narratives I do
