New wave music is an umbrella term for several late-1970s to mid-1980s pop/rock styles with ties to 1970s punk rock. Initially—as with the later post-punk—new wave was broadly analogous to punk rock before branching as a distinctly identified genre incorporating electronic/experimental music mod disco and pop.
