I want to know the answer to the following question:
What did the club-oriented scene emphasize instead of the experimental seriousness of earlier post-punk groups?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In the music press, the increasingly esoteric writing of post-punk publications soon began to alienate their readerships; it is estimated that within several years, NME suffered the loss of half its circulation.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
