Neo-New wave? O.o''
Willis:
In all seriousness folks, when exactly did punk stop, post-punk start, and new-wave begin?

Psiogen:
--- Quote from: Willis ---I'd beg to differ. Television are most certainly post-punk.

Television can't be post-punk because they were among the influencers, not influencees, of punk.
Here's my understanding of the inane genre designations:
PUNK: punk.
NEW WAVE: another name for punk, but it later became a term for bands associated with punk that diverged from the stereotypical punk sound, and, eventually, just about any pop/rock of the late 70's/early 80's.
POST-PUNK: punk-influenced art-rock.
Also, I'd like to multiply those XTC and Talking Heads recommendations times infinity. Goodass bands, whichever of the above categories you want to stick 'em in.
Inlander:
Just to clarify something from my original post: I wasn't recommending Television because I consider them to be New Wave, I was recommending them because they seem to be a heavy influence on a lot of bands around nowadays.
As you were.
Hatebunny:
well, my favourite new wave bands are Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, and Depeche Mode...and those last two could also be described as synthpop...or...dance...so...jeepers.
Aphi:
Tears for Fears! Le /whoo!/
=cough= Okay, so I only knew who they were /after/ watching Donnie Darko and trying to figure out who sang the original version of the song at the end. They still own you.
