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”.

I don't usually consider 80s synthpop like Depeche Mode and New Order as new wave, to me new wave is more of a late 70s thing.

Joy Division is Post-Punk, not really New Wave.

The Cure is more Alternative Rock than New Wave. I can't believe they are listed first here. I like them, though.

There's no second new wave and the New Wave it's not old. // I <3 Francois Truffaut, but Jean-Luc Godard is so much boring, that's a fact, but it's ok cause he's a genius.
