Honestly, I could've posted this thread in either the punk or electronica forums since it draws elements from both genres, but enough about that.

Anyone here a fan of new wave music? This genre just keeps growing on me. The first bands I got into were Duran Duran and Animotion, but I'm really starting to get into a **** load of other bands as well, especially The Cars who in my opinion are one of the best in the genre. Other bands I like are A Flock of Seagulls, a-Ha, Depeche Mode, Devo, Pet Shop Boys, Eurythmics, and Kajagoogoo. Sure, this music is pretty much the pop-punk of the 80s, but damn is it good. I like it mainly, because of the nice groove and cheesy but fun synths, and because it's rock music that you can dance to.
