More on New Wave music
Description from Wikipedia:
New Wave is an inexact term for a musical genre that originated in 1976. The term started as applying to punk rock music, but soon moved to define a different crop of artists that those associated with punk. During the 1980s in the United States New Wave became a catch-all term that applied to new British-style music acts in general and synthpop acts in particular. New Wave took a start from punk bands but emerged as a movement in its own right by 1979, incorporating aspects of mod subculture, electronic music, disco, and funk. The 1990s and 2000s have seen revivals, and a number of acts that have been influenced by a variety of New Wave styles.
