Yes they flourished in the 80's, but they origin from the 70's.
Whitehouse, Minutemen, Galaxie 500, Pixies, Idiot Flesh, Thinking Plague, Sonic Youth, Mnemonists (although technically formed in 1979 under 'Biota'). Just to name a few off the top of my head. Although, both the Pixies and Galaxie 500 is more aimed at my original post when I made a reference to indie and alternative bands.

Plus, I thought it was more important when they started to make albums and create an impact on music. Most of the industrial and no wave musicians were formed in the late seventies, but didn't even release an album until the early eighties, but they're usually considered to be musicians from the eighties.
