Default Proto-Punk or Post-Punk?

It's pretty obvious what you need to do.... just choose which one is your favorite: proto-punk or post-punk.

Now, I realize that proto-punk isn't technically a genre, but just a term used to refer to musicians who were influential in the making of punk rock, but just roll with it... To be honest, I'm not entirely sure if post-punk is a complete genre either...

Some examples of proto-punk: The Monks, The Stooges, MC5, Death, The Sonics, The Velvet Underground, The Deviants, New York Dolls, etc.

Some examples of post-punk: Joy Division, Magazine, Swell Maps, Wire, The Pop Group, Tuxedomoon, The Raincoats, etc.
