I'm 34, so maybe at the younger end of the group that have responded so far. I can't honestly say that I love New Wave per se, if the truth be known I wallowed smack bang in the 'top 40' pool. But it was from this arena that I discovered that the songs

I'm 33. at the risk of sounding like some old sad sack, I'll put it like this:

It seems like with every passing year it becomes more difficult to pinpoint and access those little things that take you back to a certain time, when life was a lot more sim

Yes, a big part of listening to the old music is simply nostalgia. The music was a big part of an important time in my life. I stopped hanging around drinking in the woods listening to my friends and started hanging out in clubs listening to the Ramones

One of the reasons why I love this site, lostbands.blogspot.com, and the New Wave hub is that it allows me to listen to New Wave that I've never heard before....thereby allowing me to enjoy a form of music I love, without wallowing in nostalgia (which oft

Hey there scram jet. You have posed a very good question. I don't know what is going on with me lately but it seems as though there might be something missing in my life. I am 34 and the mother of a 13 year old girl. I thought that maybe I am going throug

I think it still sounds "new". Having been there from the beginning I think we all hear The Thompson Twins much differently than someone who is 17. Some kid watching Berlin on Bands Reunited may appreciate the music as much, but I'm convinced they are h

Good question...I love all of the responses so far[:)]

For myself, I suppose it's mostly nostalgia. Other than that, it is just awesome music. What else can make you so excited when you hear the opening bars to "Just like Heaven..."..."Strangelove"..

For me there may be a pinch of nostaliga, but that's not the driver (although I can't rule out that there are neuro-chemical reassociations going on that may be setting off quasi-euphoric endorphin production). There's nothing personally deep or emotional

Why? Well, I guess it's got some nice nostalgic moments for me. I still feel that most of the tracks (most, not all, lol) have actually aged quite well and are still relevant in today's discussion. I think a lot of the excitement over the new technolog

Well, i'm 18 years of age and the music of my generation isn't music at all. 80% of the art has been sucked out by boy bands and lack of creativity and fun. I decided back in the 10th grade to ditch hip hop, pop, and rock and take on new wave music when I

a lot of the young'ns are listening to alterative stations that play 75% 80's new wave. some of us want to start bands but don't want to screw it up so we listen carefully. Not to brag but by now I could shout back every DM song from 1980 to 1986, while m

Im 18 also-
Just turned there.

I love the music. I love the new wave image and attitude. The music was so creative. It made a lot of use of a new instrument that was awesome. We dont have any new instruments coming out. Plus all we got nowadays sucks.
