 it reminds me of my youth, when looking "weird" meant taking a risk every time you walked out the door. When you got chastised for being a fan of "that fag music". When you didn't get invited to the party because people were afraid you'd bring your Vapors record. When there was something new and exciting to discover around every corner, and each week brought several new discoveries and favorite band.

I love new wave because of the melodies, each bands uniqueness, the various instruments, etc......

There's something about the sound that attracts me. And the way the artists weren't afraid to be different and "weird". *sigh* I wish I could remember the 80's, dammit.

Late 70's and tired of classic rock. I hear something by Joe Jackson,
and the Clash, and think "Hey, I want more of this". But
the radio isn't playing it, and then I discover WLIR. First band
that really put the hook in me was APB, and I've been New Wave ever since. Give me funky bass lines, synth and steady drums and the dancing just happens. Glad to see so many still into it. See ya at the Beacon for Yaz !

I think for me it was the "hey, let's start a band and record a single" positivity that so many young kids were creating and being fearless. Dancing united everyone for a good time. A new doo, a pointed shoe, the drama, the variety, the excitement. I have great memories of those days and I relive them lots by visiting NWO and listening to my vinyl, tapes and CDs.

Reading all of those posts of yours, I couldn't escape this thought:

"My ....brothers...and ...sisters, too. Uuups. I am a hippie!!"
Just joking. Lots of beautiful reflexions on what newave and postpunk were and still are. A part of our lives.
Tnx for sharing!

Novi val!
Post-punk!

A kid asked me if I was "punk" in the '80s. I said, "No, I was more what you'd call goth, but they didn't call it goth then."
"What did they call it?," the kid inquired.
I replied, "They called it, 'Hey faggot!'"

Why do I like New Wave music? I suppose why you like any kind of music is because you like the way it stimulates your brain. Songs such as OMD's "Enola Gay" or The The's "This is the Day" light up certain receptors for pure pleasure and they always will. I lost interest in pop music when New Wave's influence waned and Grunge came storming in. I'm not going to say Nirvana and Pearl Jam suck, but that their music does not excite my mind. Right now I'm listening to the new symhony by the Estonian composer Arvo Part ("In Principio"). This music excites my brain in a different way from, say, A Flock of Seagulls' "Space Age Love Song," but the result is the same.

Because it offers a pleasure many other genres don't. It has it's own unique sound. It makes me think of the 80's when life was easier and I didn't give a shit about anything. Synths! Synths! and more Synths! Many people involved knew how to write a good song. A large percentage of it wasn't mainstream. Did I mention Synths!

... it's still the best Music Genre up to date!! [:D]
