Dark wave or darkwave is a music genre that began in the late 1970s coinciding with the popularity of new wave and post-punk. Building on those basic principles dark wave added dark introspective lyrics and an undertone of sorrow for some bands. In the 1980s a subculture developed alongside dark wave music whose members were called wavers or dark wavers.
