<br>Tileboy...what is "Next Wave" mean exactly?...I thought it to mean current acts, apeing , well...New Wave...
I kind of get the vibe you mean by 'next wave' is "Indie Pop" or just 'Indie', for example everyone on this site seems to love (for reasons I dont get) British Sea Power....not new wave...just trying to get the definition straight...The Miss Kitten video I put up is a perfect example of what I consider "Next Wave"...80% of the "sound", production and vibe harkening back to the halcyon days of 'New Wave'
--I dont have any problem with new music...just trying to figure out why people are conecting 'New Wave' to Modest Mouse or Of Montreal or British Sea Power....that being said, I consider 'Interpol' "next wave"...

To tell you the truth ,I hadn't really heard that term until I found NWO 2 years ago. I think you're right, it's music that is influenced somehow by new wave. I think most of us in the next wave section have expanded that definition a little to include new music that just sounds a bit off the beaten track.
I haven't fully gotten into BSP yet, but I swear I'm gonna try.
I do like the Miss Kitten song and Vid.
