Duran Duran was one of the few bands that didn't die off in the 90s.

Guitar wolf was founded in the 80's and has that sound, so I counted them.

I was talking about the Social Distortion song. Also it has that early 90s sound to me

Not that it really matters. I consider guns n roses a hair metal band even though their good shit was in the 90s

Nah

Pretty Boys, sure

Maybe sellouts, debatable. But like Plant Earth a legit new wave banger.

New Wave is one of my favorite genres. I will fight over this issue.

It changed the musical landscape and put a lot of DIY type creators back in control. It was a welcome change from disco and over indulgent late 70s rock. (I like some disco and dad rock too).

It was weird, the people involved were too. It was like taking art school rejects and suddenly putting them in control of pop culture for a while. Awesome!

New wave was absolutely indulgent and self congratulatory. It was the opposite of counter culture. Record label controlled bs pop music that's easily digestible for boomers afraid of change normally.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of Duran Duran. I respect how successful they were and like Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf are fun. But not one of personal favorite bands of the era.

Like, here are some of mine

Thompson Twins
Echo and the Bunnymen
Art of Noise
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Heaven 17
Yaz(oo)

I know people love them but I'm eh on the Smiths, Cure, and Depeche Mode.

I don't really know how you could consider things like Devo, Smiths, Cure, Depeche Mode, Art of Noise and so no on not counter culture.

Sure, however for quickly the whole scene embraced selling out to the big corporate labels with everything happening around them in society in the 80's says a lot about the quality of people in these bands.

That I won't disagree with at all. Gaming pal, I can respect you for not enjoying the genre. I'm not going to argue that personal tastes are wrong. The crap got way over commercialized by the end. Duran Duran was perhaps the most commercial of them all. Still made some fun songs though imo.

This is the sort of stuff I think of when I think of counter culture elements of New Wave though.

Mainstream music for mainstream consumers

You have good taste. Phenomenal group.

New wave is good though. Some bands suck, others rock. Same with any genre. Duran Duran isn't a personal favorite but they're a lot better than shit like Bow Wow Wow

No joke my first concert was Duran Duran in 2005. It was a family member's birthday and it was cool to experience a big show at a young age.

But if I'm going to pick a favourite new wave or 80's alt band, it's gotta be Depeche Mode or The Cure. I've seen the former live and they're amazing, but I'd kill to see The Cure,
