The wide range of bands categorized under this term has been a source of much confusion and controversy. The new wave sound of the late 1970s moved away from the smooth blues and rock & roll sounds to create music with a twitchy, agitated feel, choppy rhythm guitars and fast tempos. Initially—as with the later post-punk—new wave was broadly analogous to punk rock before branching as a distinctly identified genre, incorporating electronic/experimental music, mod, disco and pop. It subsequently engendered subgenres and fusions, including synthpop and gothic rock. New wave differs from other movements with ties to first-wave punk as it displays characteristics common to pop music, rather than the more "arty" post-punk,〔(New Wave : Significant Albums, Artists and Songs, Most Viewed : AllMusic )〕 though it incorporates much of the original punk rock sound and ethos〔Reynolds, Simon "Rip It Up and Start Again PostPunk 1978–1984" p160〕 while arguably exhibiting greater complexity in both music and lyrics. Common characteristics of new wave music, aside from its punk influences, include the use of synthesizers and electronic productions, the importance of styling and the arts, as well as a great amount of diversity.〔 New wave has been called one of the definitive genres of the 1980s,〔('80s New Wave Artists – Top 10 New Wave Artists of the '80s )〕 after it grew partially fixated on MTV (The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" music video was broadcast as the first music video to promote the channel's launch).〔 and the popularity of several new wave artists, attributing the exposure that was given to them by the channel. In the mid-1980s, differences between new wave and other music genres began to blur.〔〔 New wave has enjoyed resurgences since the 1990s, after a rising "nostalgia" for several new wave-influenced artists. The revivals in the 1990s and early 2000s were small, but became popular by 2004; subsequently, the genre has influenced a variety of other music genres.〔〔〔〔〔〔〔(Q&A with Theo Cateforis, author of Are We Not New Wave? Modern Pop at the Turn of the 1980s The University of Michigan Press 2011 )〕 During the 2000s, a number of acts explored new wave and post-punk influences, such as The Strokes, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, and The Killers. These acts were sometimes labeled "New New Wave". ==The term "new wave"== The catch-all nature of new wave music has been a source of much confusion and controversy. The 1985 discography ''Who's New Wave in Music'' listed artists in over 130 separate categories. The ''New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock'' uses the term "virtually meaningless" in its definition of new wave,〔 while AllMusic mentions "stylistic diversity".〔(AboutNew Wave )〕 New wave first circulated as a rock music genre in the early 1970s, used by critics like Nick Kent and Dave Marsh to classify such New York-based groups as the Velvet Underground and New York Dolls. It gained a much wider currency beginning in 1976 when it appeared in UK punk fanzines such as ''Sniffin' Glue'' and also in newsagent music weeklies such as ''Melody Maker'' and ''New Musical Express''.〔Gendron, Bernard (2002). ''Between Montmartre and the Mudd Club: Popular Music and the Avant-Garde'' (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press), pp. 269–270.〕 In a November 1976 article in ''Melody Maker'', Caroline Coon used Malcolm McLaren's term "new wave" to designate music by bands not exactly punk, but related to, and part of the same musical scene.〔Clinton Heylin, ''Babylon's Burning'' (Conongate, 2007), pp. 140, 172.〕 The term was also used in that sense by music journalist Charles Shaar Murray in his comments about The Boomtown Rats.〔Murray, Charles Shaar. Sleevenotes to CD reissue of ''The Boomtown Rats'', reproduced at (). Retrieved on 21 January 2007.〕 For a period of time in 1976 and 1977, the terms new wave and punk were somewhat interchangeable.〔 By the end of 1977, "new wave" had replaced "punk" as the definition for new underground music in the UK.〔 In the United States, Sire Records chairman Seymour Stein, believing that the term "punk" would mean poor sales for Sire's acts who had frequently played the club CBGB, launched a "Don't Call It Punk" campaign designed to replace the term with "new wave". As radio consultants in the United States had advised their clients that punk rock was a fad, they settled on the term "new wave". Like the filmmakers of the French new wave movement (after whom the genre was named), its new artists were anti-corporate and experimental (e.g. Ramones and Talking Heads). At first, most U.S. writers exclusively used the term "new wave" for British punk acts.〔Source: The Grove Dictionary of American Music, 2nd edition New 3 September 2014〕 Starting in December 1976, ''The New York Rocker'', which was suspicious of the term "punk", became the first American journal to enthusiastically use the term starting with British acts, later appropriating it to acts associated with the CBGB scene.〔 Music historian Vernon Joynson states that new wave emerged in the UK in late 1976, when many bands began disassociating themselves from punk. Music that followed the anarchic garage band ethos of the Sex Pistols was distinguished as "punk", while music that tended toward experimentation, lyrical complexity or more polished production, came to be categorized as "new wave". In the U.S., the first new wavers were the not-so-punk acts associated with the New York club CBGB (e.g. Talking Heads, Mink DeVille and Blondie).〔 CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, referring to the first show of the band Television at his club in March 1974, said, "I think of that as the beginning of new wave."〔Clinton Heylin, ''Babylon's Burning'' (Conongate, 2007), p. 17.〕 Furthermore, many artists who would have originally been classified as punk were also termed new wave. A 1977 Phonogram Records compilation album of the same name (''New Wave'') features US artists including the Dead Boys, Ramones, Talking Heads and The Runaways.〔Savage, Jon.
