 * Post-punk genre is not supported by the proffered source. Initially punk, later New Wave and synthpop, but never within the limited scope of "post-punk". Lwarrenwiki (talk) 17:30, 15 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Ivan says: "Even later on, I still considered us a punk band — an electronic punk band with a hit single." --190.51.31.236 (talk) 23:47, 17 February 2018 (UTC)


 * That doesn't place the band within the boundaries of the genre set forth in the article post-punk. It doesn't even qualify in terms of how Ivan subjectively defined the band; you just quoted Ivan stating that he considered the band to still be punk, which certainly is not the same as Ivan considering the band to be a "post-punk" band.

 * Also, Ivan was wrong. As recording artists, they were never a punk band releasing punk music, regardless of what Ivan may have had as a self-image. And being no longer punk is neither necessary nor sufficient to make a band and its music fit into the fairly narrow and limited genre labeled post-punk.
