I find a lot of punk like Sex Pistols and the Clash too clean and crisp. The noisy, buzzy sludge of garage rock is so much like proto-punk and that's why I love it.

To be fair, I haven't given post-punk much of a listen.
You find early Clash crisp sounding?

Post-punk is actually very subjective and you`ll always get a whole load of diverse opinions on the subject. The first band that always comes to mind when I think of post-punk is always the Stooges.
