I spoke to Mark P a little while back about this - as I'm a great believer in what was termed in the UK as "post-punk" - the era of The Raincoats, Scritti Politti, and later on, GO4 and of course that Macclesfield/Salford quartet I occasionally mention.....
Mark P termed punk as when people genuinely believed that the world could be changed - this ambition and idealism had died by the time post-punk had came along.
