"New Wave" isn't dumb. It already existed previously in the film industry and decades later it was applied to music at the time. The name existed at the time the music came out. Shoegaze was practically used from the beginning. It was a jab at the guitar players staring at their pedal boards, the name stuck. It would be dumb if people on RYM started calling it "Pedalwave."

Wow you just named dropped the most obscure name in all of Shoegaze. You must have an extensive knowledge of the genre.

Malcolm McLaren wanted the Sex Pistols to be known as a "New Wave" band, but much to his chagrin "Punk Rock" stuck as the descriptive marketing buzz word.

You win. When you compare apples are oranges, they're the same thing. There's no difference.

But those bands are old wave now but we still call them new wave. Doesn't make sense, dude.

Genres also used to be coined by music journalists who are too dweeby even for the modern internet dweeb.
