I didn't like new wave at all.. way too "floaty" for me

yeh but its got like some punk influence or something though
i kinda like electronic music nd im heavily into new wave and industrial atm XD

every musical style or direction had its heroes, geniuses i guess...
O think a lot of music in the 80's went by experimenting with sound, visuals more than actualy concentrating on songwriting :) But its just a different direction, not a worse one, IMO :)
I love this remix of a song by Tears for Fears:

(the original's great too!!!)

anything pre-90's just doesnt appeal to me.
