who came up with the 1980s genre new wave
New wave music New wave first emerged as a rock genre in the early 1970s, used by critics including Nick Kent and Dave Marsh to classify such New York-based groups as the Velvet Underground and New York Dolls.[34] It gained currency beginning in 1976 when it appeared in UK punk fanzines such as Sniffin' Glue and newsagent music weeklies such as Melody Maker and New Musical Express.[35] In November 1976 Caroline Coon used Malcolm McLaren's term "new wave" to designate music by bands not exactly punk, but related to the same musical scene.[36] The term was also used in that sense by music journalist Charles Shaar Murray in his comments about the Boomtown Rats.[37] For a period of time in 1976 and 1977, the terms new wave and punk were somewhat interchangeable.[24][38] By the end of 1977, "new wave" had replaced "punk" as the definition for new underground music in the UK.[35]
