I kindly ask all viewers to maintain a respectful tone in the comments section. While I welcome debates and differing opinions, please avoid using foul language or making personal attacks. Let’s keep discussions civil and constructive. The voiceover in the video is generated using AI and it's not always perfect. However, everything else is crafted by me. This includes writing the video scripts, researching, finding photos and video clips, editing them, and creating the graphics you see. The music is composed by me too unless otherwise stated. Occasionally, I may use original music by artists or bands, provided it does not result in copyright warnings or strikes. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel!

Excellent synopsis of a sublime era of music. My friends and me are so happy we were in our twenties in the eighties. It really was an incredible time.......

I (born in 1963 and considering myself a lover of new wave) generally agree with this video as being the origin of new wave, but I'm sure others will think differently. But for me this was just the beginning, I consider bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Sound, Simple Minds, U2 etc. as also defining the genre as we all did at the time!

I'd say it's a good overview ❤ Well done! Don't know why this channel doesn't have 100k subs.

Thank you for your kind words and support. I guess it takes time. The channel is only 1 year old and almost have 1.6k subs now. So it's going slowly but in the right direction :)

It was an age or a decade of IMAGE and SOUND unified to create a world of its own. Somehow I still literally live there - at least in my own imagination, which makes it truly hard to live, even to breathe easily, in the world of today which is definitely dominated by ugliness and tastelessness ! Thank you for creating this video !

It was a very interesting time - I was there! What was great about it was how no one wanted to copy what had happened before. There was no rule book. A lot of bands started of barely being able to play or sing properly (of course they got better!). But the point was that it was art, even in a way concept art - perhaps most clearly shown by Devo, as you alude, but they all had a concept or reason to exist. Like little tribes. Most of the images you show here are of the "Blitz" crowd, who were quite different to the ska bands, or Adam and the Ants fans. All formidable, strange and wonderful in their own way! It was also a great era for women - no longer just a nice attractive or sexy add-on not to be taken too seriously. Sadly, I dont the record industry knew what to do with these amazing female artists long term, but worth looking into to see how much better things could have been. (see Poly Styrene, Hazel O'Connor, Toyah, and many more).. Also, take a leaf out of their book - use your own voice not just AI - it's unique and special. Just like all these good people!

I agree with what you wrote. Yes most images are from The Blitz Club simply because it's extremely difficult to find any other images from the New Wave scene except for the punk scene from the late 70s start of 80s which this video is not really about. Regarding the AI voice. It's based of my own voice so it's quite unique. I am fine with it and I am sure you'll learn to live with it too :)

I noticed a lot of New Romantic pictures.

Yes most from UK and the Blitz club.

New Wave is notoriously hard to pin down, because the term essentially encompassed everything from punk, post-punk, rockabilly, some prog-rock, goth rock/deathrock, synthpop, electro-funk, early indie rock, ska/reggae, some of the more eccentric folk music, italodisco....Prettymuch all "alternative" music that wasn't straightforward rock a la the Rolling Stones or Van Halen, or metal.

I think you recaptured the movement quite well, cheers! I was born in 1962 in the British Isles. 1980, winter 1981 I was in Vienna. Ultravox got the atmosphere! No idea how. Being partly in Vienna I experienced - and was influenced by - the "NDW" too (Neue Deutsche Welle). But mainly the music from Britain.

A proper title should be "New Wave: The Sound That Defined The Future Generation". This sound of the era is the sound of today and might still be the sound of tomorrow. For me, New Wave is timeless.

It's a nice title but not for this video. I think the title I came up with is perfect for this video :). Thanks for your support.

One has to realize the TERM PostPunk didn't exist in the 1980's, it's a relatively new term to separate the Punk movement into two separate categories/eras. But actually there was no distinct separation between punk music created in the mid/late 70's and punk music created after 1979. Did New Wave come from Punk, not really as the similarities between the two didn't show up until certain punk bands started crossing over with pop hits.

@80sNewWaveMusic 13 күн бұрын

Many who was into Punk crossed over into the New Wave scene incl. artists so I dont agree its not related.

Very good but no mention of THOMAS DOLBY the the ABC yello and the best most influential band group act The ART OF NOISE I saw a quick glimpse of my favourite BLONDIE paulie😂

Thank you. As mentioned in the beginning of the video there were many other bands and artists but i could not include them all and included those I believe were essential.

This song deserves some recognition considering it was all over bridging Disco and New Wave, even sounds like today's NeoDisco: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rImymISEZsZqmKc

I love that song. Actually my 2nd vinyl ever was Flesh+Blood by Roxy Music. One of my all time favorite albums.
