I'm not sure if this will fall into "being a new waver". The feeling you get when going through your COLD basement/garage or somebody elses and finding those long lost new wave albums. You know the feeling when your down on your knees digging through those cardboard boxes and your hands become chapped and start bleeding because it's so cold outside. Like I said... I am not sure if that qualifies or not. Here's another though:

You know your a "NEW WAVER" if you still get excited when meeting someone else that enjoys the music, lol...... [:p]

Thanks, Justin/DevoManiac101

well! probably the best to know if you are new waver is when you keep on playing Seona Dancing's "MORE TO LOOSE"

83) You get to meet someone new and the next thing you ask is "What type of music do you listen to?". If he says "Backstreet Boys" and all other crap, you lose all interest and contemplate for an escape!

84) Tears for Fears reunited and you think it's the best thing to ever happen on the face of the earth!

85) Your reckless little sibling or friend or whoever lost your treasured vinyl/CD of "Echo & the Bunnymen" from swapping (or whatever) and it makes you want to strangle him! He offers to pay for it and all you can say is "Go to Hell!"

86) You get the chance to browse the internet and the first word you search for is "New Wave". Shortly after, you're a NWO-addict!
