Post punk is more Less Than Jake, Garage rock is more Reel Big Fish, or at least y’know those are the impressions that I have received.

There’s crossover because journalists and others lump all of these guitar bands together. Over 90% of the bands that NME called “garage rock” simply were not at all garage rock.
The White Stripes weren’t garage rock. They were blues rock.
And there was no revival of garage rock. It hadn’t stopped. There were and always were hundreds of bands playing that style of music. And while NME was hyping some alleged garage rock revolution, most of those bands remained firmly unknown and underground.
Just because NME says a band is garage rock doesn’t mean they are. In fact, they’re probably not. Real garage rock has always flown under the radar. And during the bogus garage rock revolution nothing much changed.

Well, you can think what you like but I know what I am talking about here. I was putting on gigs by such bands before 2001 and carried on doing so long afterwards. I worked with the White Stripes themselves, as well as tons of other bands during that period. So I do absolutely know the subject inside out. Take my word for it. What I say above is 100 per cent accurate.
