New Wave Radio Stations
New Wave music is largely considered an offshoot of punk music that began its popularity in the 1970s. Punk music was seen as a music genre that is separate from heavy metal and even generally rock bands because of its anti corporate and anti government philosophies. New Wave, on the other hand, was more open to embrace corporate intervention especially in marketing bands and their music. This generally resulted in the proliferation of many band that are considered one-hit wonders. They produced a single hit record and just as quickly become obscure. New Wave also became associated with the general excess that defined the 1980s. But some bands still think that New Wave still adheres to the punk philosophy.
