The genre has a variety of acts with diverse styles. When I think of New Wave I picture Talking Heads, The B-52s, XTC, Pere Ubu, Elvis Costello, and it's "No Wave" counterparts like Pop Group and Suicide. No, that's what you think of when you hear "New Wave". It brought international attention to the movement, but so did Talking Heads' More Songs About Buildings and Food 3 years earlier in 1978. New Wave is often mentioned alongside Vivien Westwood's '81 "Pirate Collection", which brought the New Wave aesthetic into fashion and media, and was modeled by New Wave artists themselves. Hell, the 70s even saw a direct response to New Wave, termed "No Wave" that included groups like Suicide, The Pop Group, James Chance/White, DNA, Lydia Lynch, and Lounge Lizards.Īlso worth noting that people were describing groups like Velvet Undergound (late 60s) and The New York Dolls (early 70s) as "new wave" before the genre was officially defined, and these groups have heavy influence on the genre itself. Acts like Talking Heads, Pere Ubu, XTC, Devo, Elvis Costello, Adam Ant, The B-52s, among others spearheaded New Wave in music in the mid-late 70s. The Ramones had traits that would be attributed to both New Wave and Punk acts shortly after their success. New Wave started in the mid-70s in tandem with Punk. Also, CBGB hosted Costello and Talking Heads in 78. That's like saying 40 Watt helped start Alternative. It was a gathering place for a bubbling scene in New York. It did not start at CBGB, that's just a famous venue that promoted New Wave acts when the movement started gaining ground.
