Even though things such as "YO, MTV Raps" made me ill, I still have to go back to Nirvana as I did a while back and say , as others do , Grunge killed almost everything about New Wave and Rock in general. Yeah, I liked Nirvana for maybe , oh, a nano-secon

Interesting comments! Here's a quote from AMG:

"New wave finally died out in 1984, when established artists began to make professional videos and a new crop of guitar-oriented bands like the Smiths and R.E.M. emerged to capture the attention of colleg

i agree with hensoneno--
i would say when New Wave became mainstream and a lot of our fave bands started putting out their 3rd, 4th album and it was no longer "new" and "different". i think the sound of new wave changed a lot as more of the the general

You can't overlook the fact that "The Smiths" were anti-dance and anti-synth (read their biogrpahy). I think they accomplished their goal of bringing back the guitar and crushing the "pop-wave" movement. Back in the 80's they were never considered a New

Geez, I'm getting flamed on 2 threads for referring to the AllMusic guide. Ouch!! No, of course it's not the bible. In fact, I don't even agree with the comment. But it is another opinion, like all the *opinions* on this board.

At the risk at getting flamed myself I always preferred the term "Modern Rock" to describe the bands that were guitar oriented and didn't rely heavily on new wave styling. I don't know who coined the term or when it started. AMG doesn't consider it a st

I was a little confused by the question and I had to look up what "jumped the shark meant". Now I'm enlightened. [:I]

I think it peaked as early as 1982-1983 and certainly by 1984. That's not to say some good music was not released after 1984 but much

New Wave pretty much died in 1984.....everything after that point was "commercial" meaning it was played on mainstream radio (which New Wave was never meant to be in my opinion). We (my age group) embraced New Wave and were protective of it. We didn't wan

New Wave ended in 1980-period. It began in the mid 1970's with Iggy/Bowie, encompassing punk in 76-78 and died at the reinvention of ska and dub borne out of punk ideology. New wave was a banner made up by the music press as an alternative to mainstream c
