The late 1970s and early 1980s saw new wave have a new term for the music that was produced by then.

New wave was believed to follow punk rock since the new wave genre disguised itself as punk rock.

New wave was mainly popular in the 1970s to the early 1980s.

That Rock Lobster was the first single hit song to be listed on Billboard Hot 100.

Almost every punk fan was not happy when new wave artists were added to the punk artists’ ranks.
