"The current Post-Punk wave starts with a unified sonic aesthetic. Guitars don’t play power chords—they play angular, monophonic riffs. They repeat these riffs over complex drum patterns. They form a groove. Not a groove you can dance to—no Daft Punk 'Get Lucky' or club anthems, and no cathartic heavy metal headbanging either. A keep-to-yourself kind of groove: subtle head nods, maybe a tapping finger as you listen on headphones on the bus ride home. There’s dissonance, off-kilter rhythms and rare time signatures, but you internalize the pattern. The groove is something to hold onto."
