Turkish post-punk is a genre that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, characterized by its dark and moody sound, driven by heavy basslines, distorted guitars, and haunting vocals. The genre often incorporates elements of traditional Turkish music, creating a unique blend of East and West. The lyrics often touch on themes of political and social unrest, as well as personal struggles and emotions. Today, the genre is experiencing a resurgence, with new bands emerging and older ones gaining international recognition.
