Post Punk is quite simply the bands that made music after 1978 who could actually play and/or conceptualise music but used the raw energy of Punk to give it focus.
Siouxsie and the Banshees debut The Scream is a brilliant example. It's not a Punk album but it's abrasive enough to be included yet it sounds nothing like the bands around the time. Gets my vote every time.
