What can I say? I'm weird.

Can relate to most of what's here....I think liking new wave took a little bit of effort, and that's why we still have a love for it. 'Fag music'..yeah, I remember hearing that alot.

Have I ever been ridiculed for liking New Wave?

Yeah, but only by imbeciles. I dated their sisters and all the other girls they wished they could be with. And I was up on fashions at least a year before they caught up. Now I make more money than them,
