Oh, certainly.  But the use of "post-punk" in the article suggests 
that they're thinking of chronology.  I was commenting on how absurd 
it is to use that term to define Television, who were right there 
*soaking in it*, as opposed to "post-" which would suggest that 
they'd come after.  The use of the term "post-punk" to describe 
Television suggests that the writer has a very, very narrow view of 
punk as a genre, can't fit the band into that, and so figures they 
must have come afterward.   Or it's just sloppy writing.
