The newer stuff a nightmare? I'm just going through their discography right now to see if they qualify as No-Wave.

New stuff is okay.

And I wouldn't call them no wave, that's for sure.

I should rephrase that as No-wave influenced.



Not even Drum's Not Dead? hmmm

Yeah, I'm listening to it right now and most of the tracks are not even no-wave influenced. Just a little bit of Confusion is Sex on a few tracks.

I can't be mad, I've done my fair share of labeling things as no wave when they aren't really no wave.

It's just a fun genre to label things.

My soup tastes very no wave influenced.

I'm actually not sure on em being no-wave related or not. I think bIG fLAME and Bogshed are

Liars and big flame are more dance-punk or something.

Bogshed I wouldn't call no wave.

We need a website like isthisbandemo or whatever, but for no wave acts.

I'm already working on my isthisbandindie website, maybe we can pair up.

I thought no-wave was a new york scene that pretty much stopped existing after the early 80s

Yeah, but facts don't stop people from calling things the wrong thing.

Ex. People misusing the term indie

Ex. me, pretty much always



Also, there are a lot of bands with no wave influences. That's more what we're talking about (I think)

we can argue influence all day, it just feels off, like debating which current bands are Canterbury Sound or something

it makes me curious though if there are very intentional 'no-wave revival' bands out there

the answer has to be yes right

"Yeah, but facts don't stop people from calling things the wrong thing."

No-wave had it's own sound. Genres that are determined by geography are stupid.



"Also, there are a lot of bands with no wave influences. That's more what we're talking about (I think)"

Yes. Most bands after the 80's that are related to No-wave are not pure no-wave sadly. (Or not sadly depending on your pov)



Not all of these modern bands are from NY, but they all sound like No Wave.

genres used to be more tied to specific times/places/scenes, I think a lot of that's out the window at this point though

For folk and regional music sure. The mass globalisation of music in the 60's mostly changed that though.

Always and forever amen
