New Wave

Description

New Wave is characterized by its eclectic mix of pop, punk, and electronic music influences. It often features catchy melodies, synthesizers, and a danceable beat, with a quirky and sometimes ironic edge.

History

New Wave emerged in the late 1970s as a reaction to the rawness of punk rock, incorporating more polished production and diverse musical influences. It became a dominant genre in the early 1980s, heavily influencing pop music and the development of MTV, which helped popularize its visually distinctive artists.
