Good New Wave ways to annoy non New Wave people

For example I love to tell my rock/blues guitarist friend how Depeche Mode regularly sell out stadiums when they tour. Or I talk about real musical pioneers like Vince Clark. I kill 'em w/kindness and a healthy dose of undisputable facts and I watch their faces twist in agony, lol!

Play the synthiest NW possible, such as Yaz, DM, OMD, etc. in a place where they cannot get away, like in your car.

I had a date get out of my car and walk home because I wouldn't stop playing Talking Heads. She failed the NW test so good riddance. Go back home to your Poison and AC/DC. Expand your narrow little mind. Run home little girl to your Bon Jovi . God, i miss

Buy them an essential new wave CD(or make one) and give it as a gift for any occasion. I actually did this as a teenager(with tapes) and some people really did start liking the music or at least gave it a listen.

I actually got a hardcore heavy metaler to listen to new wave and punk, and he became a big fan(although he didn't really share that with his friends).[8D]

And I'm sorry but electronica is indebted to New Wave also. Don't forget how much New Wave was electronic - just what do you think bands like Erasure or the Pet Shop Boys were producing? And it goes back to the Sparks, Kraftwerk.....Hip hop and "dance" ar
