I don't know that "subverting the mainstream with stylish, unapologetically individualistic pop music" was really what new wave was about, but never mind.
Quote:You got: New Wave
New wave is sorta hard to define â itâs basically a catch-all for all sorts of music that was influenced by the first wave of punk, but wasnât necessarily punk itself: Blondie, Talking Heads, Devo, Elvis Costello, New Order, The Smiths, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, etc, etc. The main thing is that while punk was mostly about provocation, aggression, and tribalism, new wave was about subverting the mainstream with stylish, unapologetically individualistic pop music.
