if 80's club music is not new wave, and one could rationally argue for or against the issue, then there needs to be some very strict definition of what new wave is.
AND STICK TO IT.
be consistent.

your definitions need to be crystal clear and then religiously adhered to. otherwise, you will forever trying to define what is and what is not labeled as new wave.
let the dj's have their time. once all wants, needs and desires are satisfied, things WILL calm down and return to 6 months ago.
you are not being infringed upon. you are not being violated. you are not being disrespected. you are being validated as having a forum where like minded individuals can come together to talk about the greatest, most DIVERSE era in modern music.
stay the course and fuclosure.
