It's punk that went experimental basically. And it has a lot of the same history as punk and came out of the same scenes in New York, England, and Cleveland in the late 70s. First wave punk was a bunch of arty weirdos and a lot of them waited like a month before taking punk in artier directions. Some of the founding bands were "post" before punk even became a thing.
