I don't know enough about post-punk to comment on that.

But punk definitely has a sound. I don't think it's an attitude. I mean, you could match that same attitude to some metal bands and rock bands. Godsmack did a bit of the DIY in their early days. Would you call the early Godsmack stuff punk? I wouldn't. And if you said they are, I'd say your ****ing dumb for claiming they are.

Punk rock is without a doubt a sound. To claim it's not is absurd to be frank.
