Why is "Post-Punk" even considered "Punk"?

Are you serious with this shit? Punk, metal, and rap were all derivative of earlier music. All music is derivative of what has come before it, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Music isn't like technology. It's not like old music suddenly becomes worthless and obsolete when new stuff pops up. Whether new or old, it's all just a collection of sounds that different people enjoy being arranged in different ways. "The youth of today" shouldn't be shamed for finding what they like and listening to it, regardless of it's age or "originality".
