Posted May 19, 200817 yr you know how the ting tings have all these references to Tom Tom Club, Talking Heads, Blondie, Bow Wow Wow in their reviews when reviewing their DIY-art-pop, disco-punk, punk-funk stuff - and that fellow electro-pop band Hot Chip are seens to be a bit like Devo - do you think we should start using a categorization along the lines of 'the Nu-Wave of New Wave" or "the New Wave of Old New Wave" or the "nu-Rave of the New Wave of New Wave" do you think people just love their multi-hyphenates too much when pigeonholing acts???
May 20, 200817 yr New wave of new wave has already been coined to describe the likes of S*M*A*S*H, Elastica, These Animal Men etc. who were recycling old punk and post-punk riffs in the early 90s.

Well i noticed that genre definition was used in a Plan B article about Riot Grrrl just before was gonna write this so that why i didnt use 'New wave of new wave' - tho would Riot Grrrl be used to today as a 'shorthand' for a scene or would it just be put down as some thing like Angry-Girl-Rock :lol:
