 At the turn of the century , the term post @-@ punk began to appear in the music press again , with a number of critics reviving the label to describe a new set of bands that shared some of the aesthetics of the original post @-@ punk era . Music critic Simon Reynolds noted that bands like the Rapture and Franz Ferdinand were influenced by the more angular strain of post @-@ punk , particularly bands such as Wire and Gang of Four . Others identified this movement as another wave of garage rock revivalism , with NME in 2003 designating it a " new garage rock revolution " , or simply a " new rock revolution " . According to music critic Jim DeRogatis , the Strokes , the White Stripes and the Hives all had a sound " to some extent rooted in Nuggets @-@ era garage rock " .
