New wave

The term New Wave itself is a source of much confusion. It was introduced in 1976 in Great Britain by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren as an alternative label for what was also being called “punk”. The term referenced the avant-garde, stylish French New Wave film movement of the 1960s. The label was soon picked up by British punk fanzines such as Sniffin’ Glue and then the professional music press. Thus, the term “New Wave” was initially interchangeable with “punk”.

One of my favorite Genres. But i'd say Joy Division or maybe XTC don't fit.

one of those genres that shouldve never been revived 20 years later. the original was as good as it gets!

maybe you should consider not reading shouts if you're so sensitive to everyday curse words and "hairsplitting". just a suggestion.

I've already repeated what I said in my first shout, so I don't see why that's relevant, but; I deleted it because I should have said "fuck the tag *description*", since it was apparently really hard for you to understand that's what I meant. even though I quoted some of the description and pointed out why it was (partly) incorrect, so it shouldn't have been that difficult to get in the first place. there's a difference between bringing up something without the intention to get people's panties in a bunch, and actually getting your panties in a bunch over a shout. also known as picking on details.

why did you delete the comments then. should've left the capitals there to make the joke going ;p ..my not caring implies I find it quite boring (& pointless) to pick on details. "I thought it was made fairly obvious ..but I guess you're new to the internet. " :)))
