1. new wave

   New Wave is an artistic movement or genre, particularly associated with cinema, music, and fashion, that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was characterized by experimentation and a push against traditional conventions in these areas. In cinema, it referred to a movement of French filmmakers during the same period who diverged from classical narrative forms. In music, New Wave represented a subgenre of rock music known for its electronic influences, distinctive fashion trends, and unconventional lyrics. It grew out of punk rock but was less harsh and more pop-influenced.

1. New Wave

   New wave music is an ambiguous category of pop or rock music from between the late 1970s to mid-1980s with ties to the original wave of punk rock. New wave music was first considered the same as punk rock before being identified as a genre in its own right, incorporating aspects of electronic and experimental music, mod subculture, disco and 1960s pop music. New wave differs from other movements with ties to first-wave punk as it displays characteristics common to pop music, rather than the more "arty" post-punk, though it incorporates much of the original punk rock sound and ethos while arguably exhibiting greater complexity in both music and lyrics. Common characteristics of new wave music, aside from its punk influences, include the use of synthesizers and electronic productions, the importance of styling and the arts, as well as a great amount of diversity. New wave is seen as one of the definitive genres of the 1980s; the genre became a fixture on MTV, and the popularity of several new wave artists has been partially attributed to the exposure that was given to them by the channel. In the mid-1980s, differences between new wave and other music genres began to blur. New wave has enjoyed resurgences since the 1990s, after a rising "nostalgia" for several new wave-influenced artists. The revivals in the 1990s and early 2000s were small, but became popular by 2004; subsequently, the genre has influenced a variety of other music genres.
