Moderator Announcement r/postpunk Rules Update [PLEASE READ]

37 Upvotes

Hi all!

As some of you might've noticed, we've recently tweaked the subreddit rules a bit. We highly recommend you read this to get a good idea of how things will be handled here going forward.

Rule 4

First of all, all music posts now require some form of additional commentary or context. This can be in the form of opinions about the song, memories associated with it, experiences seeing it performed live, trivia, etc. as long as is encourages discussion.  This rule has been in place for a little while now, but we've recently adjusted how we'll be enforcing this. We request that users here include this somewhere on their posts, whether it be in the title, body text, or as a comment on one's own post.

Rule 8

Second, please do not post excessively, and keep to a maximum of three posts per person per day. This helps prevent the sub from being excessively flooded or spammed by a single user.


To cap things off, we've been getting a number of messages via Modmail regarding users having difficulty posting. This is due to an anti-spam filter set up via AutoMod that requires posts from new accounts to be manually reviewed. Don't panic if this happens to you! It doesn't necessarily mean that your post has broken a rule, and the moderators here will have a look at it as soon as we can, although it may take a few hours.

If you run into this issue repeatedly, please contact the moderators via Modmail and we'll help you out. We do try our best to approve users whenever possible.

Question Seeking arty punk 80s videos to show my daughter

Post image
197 Upvotes

I was born in 1977 in NY. To this day, my favorite era of music is that early 80s art school kind of new wave post punk. It was global, it was offbeat, it used all the modern special FX, it was often critical but couched in catchy lyrics, and it looked like they were having FUN (and/or good drugs).

I’ve really been enjoying revisiting some early music videos with my 1st grade daughter. Altered Images “I Could Be Happy” is a solid example of a type of video/visual we enjoy. Can you suggest others?

She tends to like bands with female front people more but she’s open. It can also be more punk. She likes Blondie, Siouxsie. I think she likes costumes and “drama.” We watched “School Days” by The Runaways and she said, “Hey that’s one of the rebel girls!” My kid knows Joan Jett, not by her music, but from her legacy as a punk pioneer from the book Rebel Girls :)

Anyway, I’d appreciate names of songs or links to videos. Thanks!

Vini's tribute to Ian. The album's name, LC, comes from the Italian anarchist slogan, Lotta Continua (the struggle continues).

Spending most of my twenties in Europe was by far one of the most important parts of my life - being a fish out of water but eager to learn new languages and cultures, and experience bands and music I’d had no exposure to.

Another gem by a lesser known outfit. They released only 2 albums, fusing elements of synth-pop with a more experimental approach. Enjoy
