<br>I fail to see how NW was brought down by a bunch of songs very few people ever heard

All those songs were mainstays in the clubs I went to from Toronto to Western New York and had regular airplay on CFNY. Tastes in music are always changing. I started the 80s listening to Spandau Ballet, etc and ended it listening to Skinny Puppy. New wave dated itself with it's sameness and people drifted off to newer things. Kids coming of age in the 90s weren't going to fall back on New Wave, just like we didn't fall back on classic rock. We wanted our own thing for our time.
