Punk, post-punk, new-wave, art rock, electronica etc were labels applied to a lot of new bands from around 1976 to 1980 who played that type of music. Around 1976 and 1977 these bands were largely referred to as punk. By 1978 and 1979 a lot of these bands were being labelled new-wave and post-punk etc. Largely because a lot of these bands were incorrectly categorized in the first place and the others quickly evolved out of the simplicity of punk.
