there's ~gloomy~ post-punk and then there's ~dancy~ post punk (a la mission of burma, wire, gang of four, magazine). the strokes are the latter

But bands like Depeche Mode and Soft Cell did it in a Punk way and that's why they're post-punk
what kind of synthetics? that's where you have to draw the line. polyester vs nylon

wire isn't dancy unless all you've ever heard are outdoor miner and map ref

wire is definitely gloomy, conceptual, jagged, experimental

Like music wise no The Smiths are not punk at all, they're jangle pop but Moz is much more punk than the typical jangle pop band

My point was that "synth pop" is redundant because Pop generally implies the use of synths

But groups like Depeche and Soft Cell were like dance punk with electronics

If Depeche Mode are post punk then so are Tears for Fears and Culture Club. Post punk isn't accessible and hook filled. Its an offshoot of punk rock. Like exploding boy said its not some all encompassing term for what came after punk rock. It tends to have some punk influences.

Depeche Mode have no punk influences at all. Their peers were Tears For Fears, Culture Club and even Duran Duran at times.

I don't agree with that but I'm not sure I'm going to change your mind.
This is punk with electronics as far as I'm concerned

yeah but they're best known for their dancy stuff. pink flag was pretty influential when it came to the dancy post-punk sound. thank you for the technical input tho

No I love Pink Flag. But they're not my favorite post-punk band even if they were the first

rofl, i love depeche mode but that is blues rock through and through, if anything

yes with distortion, but wilder & co. were throwing that in as part of the band's new and more aggressive sonic palette

in all honesty, punk was kind of the antithesis to stuff like dm, or maybe the other way around

you're so fulla shit man when's it gonna end WHERE will it eend??

most bands worth a damn aren't really easily capped by genre locks anyway unless they (see j.d., pil) were major pioneers of the genre and the reason those so-called journalists had to coin the terms
