But don't think I can't distinguish the two. It's not my fault everyone's voting specific albums to be both post-punk and art punk. The majority of art punk's popularity is from the 70's and early 80's, and although there are a lot of 90's art punk albums, post-punk bands were making more very famous post-punk albums even into the 90's. Siouxsie, The Cure, Nick Cave, and Echo are good examples. Plus, post-punk is much larger than art punk.
The art punk I've heard is less production-based, and is really more like a "stripped-down" version of punk. Post-punk isn't "stripped-down." It's more rule-breaking.

What I'm getting from you is that you associate the post-punk "sound" with Joy Division's sound and all the bands they influenced. Where do The Fall and Gang of Four and PiL fall into your view of post-punk's sound? James Chance and the Contortions? Pere Ubu?
Can we please get this bull**** art punk list off the thread?
