What we call Dance-Punk is experiencing a resurgence in the post-punk scene and beyond. While genres come in and out of season all the time, it seems to be happening exactly every 20 years for Dance-Punk. So why are the punks dancing now? And what makes this time different?
From the ashes of disco, a new sound emerged that shook the foundations of what punk could be. This video traces the explosive trajectory of Dance-Punk, from its roots in the rebellious energy of the late '70s to its resurgence in today's post-punk scene. We spotlight the genre-defining tracks and pivotal artists like LCD Soundsystem and IDLES who have redefined what it means to mix punk with dance.

Post Punk is so versatile atm it's really just 20 different genres in a trench coat.
-
“Everyone just wanted to be one of The Strokes”, followed by a shot of Alex Turner. I love it.
-
Yo we NEED a playlist of all this
-
I really feel like people underestimate how much punk has influenced almost every kind of genre since punk hit the scene
-
mans just going through some of my favourite albums of all time in one video
-
Post-Punk ironically becomes my favorite broad genre & movement
-
Shoutout to the Viagra Boys! imo they’re leading the current dance punk charge. Idles are a close second.
-
Finally you mention Foals! Give us more!
-
Like fashion trends, dance-punk makes a comeback every 20 years.
-
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING SOMETHING ABOUT POST-PUNK
-
Death From Above 1979 is an ABSOLUTE MUST! To stay in Canada, Duchess Says would be worth the detour as well. High octane punk energy with an electronic sound.
-
That Gang Of Four album still hits so hard, despite my numerous listens 🙌
-
Its almost anxiety induncing how this video made my taste feel so seen. Post punk is life.
-
GTA 4's Radio Broker is a perfect snapshot of Late 00s Dance-Punk
-
Middle 8 has some of the most consistently high-quality videos on youtube and im all here for it
-
Also, Foals have ALL great albums, not just Andidotes. They're probably my favourite band of all time
-
late of the pier is one of the most underrated bands there are, happy you mentioned them
-
The two songs that immediately jumped to mind when you described dance punk were Rock the Casbah and Heads Will Roll.
-
Great job. As a DJ who spins dance-punk and crank wave, especially many of these artists in your video, even I learned a few things. And you did it without even mentioning the most commercially successful dance-punk song of all time (Rock The Casbah) ;)
