New wave is a loosely defined music genre that encompasses
pop-oriented styles from the late 1970s and the 1980s. It was originally used
as a catch-all for the various styles of music that emerged after punk rock,
including punk itself. Later, critical consensus favored "new wave"
as an umbrella term involving many popular music styles of the era, including
power pop, synth-pop, ska revival, and more specific forms of punk rock that
were less abrasive. It may also be viewed as a more accessible counterpart of
post-punk.
