Post punk started as a way for guys who were sick of Exploited and Discharge calling them sellouts to have a 'scene'.

Heres a great quote

"Punk had enabled you to say, "Fuck You." But somehow it couldn't go any further...

...Sooner or later, someone was going to want to say more than fuck you. Someone was going to want to say "I'm fucked". It was Joy Division who were the first band to do that." - Anthony Wilson

And Napalm Death came along and said, "we're all fucked".

[Kubra]

It really doesn't.
It's an accessible sound, but it's too far from Joy Divisions actual sound to be a good entry into their work

It's a good introduction to the post-punk genre as a whole, which included both accessible and non-accessible songs.

No, not even with post-punk as a whole.
More for the preceding dance punk derivatives, I'd say.

How does it not represent the genre well, or what would you choose instead to better represent the genre?

If we stay within Joy Division, I'd say "She's Lost Control" would be a better song for entry into post-punk. It represents the sound of the scene of the time much better.

I prefer that song, but LWTUA is probably the most accessible song to come out of the whole genre, so it makes a good introduction for people who aren't familiar with the style.

The thing with LWTUA is that's too accessible, too far from the post punk sound.
It's like starting with "Friday I'm in Love" to get into goth rock.

I wouldn't say it's quite that dramatic, but I can see where you're coming from.

[Threlizdun]

I'll listen to just about anything aside from that teen Disneypop crap, although my favorites are alternative rock, heavy metal, alternative metal, punk, and indie.

What would you consider metal?
What would you consider punk?

Temptation, 12" Version (admittedly technically by New Order, but I think it still fits here). I can listen to that song on repeat for over an hour.

Dance punk is a subgenre of post-punk; it can't come before it.

[Swarmlandia]

Parov Stelar is awesome for new age swing dance style.

[Oterro]

Dad rock, almost exclusively.

Ahahaha, fuck me.
Not "preceding". "succeeding". Thank you for pointing that out.

Dad Rock?

Dance punk, wtf?

"Classic rock" is what it's usually called;

eg, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC.

Dance punk, wtf?

ESG.
Was (Not Was).
Liquid Liquid.
And arguably, Tom Tom Club.

[Roman Cilicia]

Dubstep and Gregorian chant mainly.

Maybe, if you're lucky.

You're welcome.

[Demen]

To get those sigs, though, I've had to be a bit of an attention whore.

Me: "Every post must be sig-worthy! Every post must be sig-worthy! Every post must be sig-worthy!"

An easy way to get sigged is to flatter somebody in a funny way

You're hawt.

[United Dependencies]

I can listen to just about anything (bar heavy metal and today's pop) I favor classical music, however.

[Mike the Progressive]

Pretty much anything by Rebecca Black while drunk. For some strange reason, it is just hilarious.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Eclectic. That's the best way to describe my musical taste.
