I was going to title it "Five Reasons No Wave Pisses over the Rest of Post-Punk" but it didn't carry the same bravado. I'm basically trying to highlight the differences between the New York and English post-punk (which I agree is more of an era than a genre). I'm just here to explain that contrary to what you (and many others) believe, American punk, does in fact, not suck.
It'd be hypocritical of me to say post-punk sucked; some of my favorite albums exist within this era. I personally believe, however, that the New York no-wave movement was superior to everything else during that era.
