What we call DancePunk is experiencing a resurgence in the postpunk scene and beyond. While genres come in and out of season all the time, it seems to be happening exactly every 20 years for DancePunk. So why are the punks dancing now? And what makes this time different?

From the ashes of disco, a new sound emerged that shook the foundations of what punk could be. This video traces the explosive trajectory of DancePunk, from its roots in the rebellious energy of the late '70s to its resurgence in today's postpunk scene. We spotlight the genredefining tracks and pivotal artists like LCD Soundsystem and IDLES who have redefined what it means to mix punk with dance.
