And Post-Punk isn't even close to being an exclusively British genre.

No, but all the best post-punk bands were british.
All we had were Husker Du and The Minutemen.
And punk did not start in the US, if you could name one band who has a significant amount of impact on that genre, it would be The Who, every punk band owes it to The Who and every major punk band ever has credited them as a major influence, and The Clash and The Sex Pistols are widely accepted as the greatest punk bands along with The Ramones, and only The Ramones compare when it comes to overall influence and everything else...The UK pretty much created heavy metal and prog, and punk movements began in US and UK around the same time, so giving the UK no credit for punk whatsoever reveals the ineptness of your point of view.
Plus all these other genres you are giving america credit for, like alternative, grunge and indie were influenced a great deal by british rock music.
