'''Punk Funk'''

Appeared in the late 1970s in the UK, can frequently overlap with PostPunk. Much less funk-oriented than either funk-rock or -metal, more experimental/dissonant/noisy. Arguably mutated into what we now know as dance-punk.

Examples:
* GangOfFour
* A Certain Ratio
* Orange Juice
* The Pop Group
* The Contortions
