UK post-punk emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a reaction to the punk movement. It is characterized by its use of unconventional song structures, angular guitar riffs, and introspective lyrics that often touch on themes of alienation and social commentary. The genre's sound evolved over time, incorporating elements of electronic and dance music. Its influence can still be heard in alternative and indie rock today.
