Punk vs Post-Punk
The page claimed Pere Ubu was post-punk rather than just punk. I changed this, because Pere Ubu was founded in 1975, two years before the term "punk" was coined. This makes the band contemporaries, not followers, of the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Devo, etc. Post-punk implies that it happened AFTER punk, when Pere Ubu was happening at the same time. --75.151.116.105 (talk) 21:29, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Since Ubu predated punk, they count as "proto-punk." However, the music they were doing as early as 1975 was also on the artistic level today known as "post-punk." So they were already post-punk even before there was punk! I really think that the only such term applicable to them is "proto-post-punk" (which probably makes them one of a kind). I say that only half in jest.


 * However, I like their self-designation "avant garage" the best. It's clever. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 03:53, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
