Punk vs Post-Punk

[edit]

The page claimed Pere Ubu was post-punk rather than just punk. I changed this, because Pere Ubu was founded in 1975, two years before the term "punk" was coined. This makes the band contemporaries, not followers, of the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Devo, etc. Post-punk implies that it happened AFTER punk, when Pere Ubu was happening at the same time. --75.151.116.105 (talk) 21:29, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since Ubu predated punk, they count as "proto-punk." However, the music they were doing as early as 1975 was also on the artistic level today known as "post-punk." So they were already post-punk even before there was punk! I really think that the only such term applicable to them is "proto-post-punk" (which probably makes them one of a kind). I say that only half in jest.
However, I like their self-designation "avant garage" the best. It's clever. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 03:53, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Punk" magazine was first issued in 1975 as "a magazine version of The Ramones". "Punk" was used by Lenny Kaye in 1972 to describe 1960's garage bands, and by Lester Bangs to describe The Stooges. Rockoclock2u (talk) 20:17, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:DTWave.jpg

[edit]

Image:DTWave.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
