Icelandic post-punk is a genre that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s in Iceland. The music is characterized by its angular guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and introspective lyrics. The genre was heavily influenced by the post-punk movement in the UK, but Icelandic post-punk has a unique sound that reflects the country's isolation and rugged landscape. The lyrics often explore themes of alienation, political oppression, and the struggle for personal freedom.
