Post-Brexit new wave
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Crank wave.
Crank wave (also known as the post-Brexit new wave or wonk) is a subgenre of post-punk that emerged in the mid-to late 2010s. Arising as a reaction against landfill indie, acts in the genre adopted a more experimental sound, drawing variously from noise rock, indie rock, no wave, krautrock and jazz fusion. A prominent feature is its use of sprechgesang vocals, which sit between singing and spoken word. It adopts a style of conscious lyricism and deadpan delivery.
