Editing No wave (section)

==Legacy==
In a foreword to the book ''No Wave'', [[Weasel Walter]] wrote of the movement's ongoing influence:

<blockquote>I began to express myself musically in a way that felt true to myself, constantly pushing the limits of idiom or genre and always screaming "Fuck You!" loudly in the process. It's how I felt then and I still feel it now. The ideals behind the (anti-) movement known as No Wave were found in many other archetypes before and just as many afterwards, but for a few years around the late 1970s, the concentration of those ideals reached a cohesive, white-hot focus.{{sfn|Masters|2007}}</blockquote>

In 2004, [[Scott Crary]] made the documentary ''[[Kill Your Idols (film)|Kill Your Idols]]'', including such no wave bands as Suicide, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, DNA and Glenn Branca as well as bands influenced by no wave, including Sonic Youth, Swans, [[Foetus (band)|Foetus]] and others.

In 2007–2008, three books on the scene were published: Stuart Baker's (editor) [[Soul Jazz Records]] ''New York Noise'' (with photographs by Paula Court),<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=10566| title = Soul Jazz Records – ''New York Noise – Art and Music from the New York Underground 1978–88''}}</ref> Marc Masters' [[Black Dog Publishing]] ''No Wave'' (with a foreword by [[Weasel Walter]]),<ref>[http://www.blackdogonline.com/all-books/no-wave.html ''No Wave''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090114153805/http://www.blackdogonline.com/all-books/no-wave.html |date=14 January 2009 }}, with a foreword by Weasel Walter (London: Black Dog Publishing, 2007), {{ISBN|978-1-906155-02-5}}.</ref> and [[Thurston Moore]] and [[Byron Coley]]'s [[Harry N.

[[Coleen Fitzgibbon]] and [[Alan W. Moore]] created a short film in 1978 (finished in 2009) of a New York City no wave concert to benefit Colab titled ''X Magazine Benefit'', documenting performances by DNA, James Chance and the Contortions, and [[Boris Policeband]]. Shot in black and white and edited on video, the film captured the gritty look and sound of the music scene during that era. In 2013, it was exhibited at [[Salon 94]], an art gallery in New York City.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.salon94.com/video-wall|title=Pulse Generator Pastry, NY Mix—Salon 94|work=Salon94|access-date=28 June 2013|archive-date=28 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128122847/https://salon94.com/video-wall|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2023, the No Wave movement received institutional recognition at the [[Centre Pompidou]] with a Nicolas Ballet curated exhibition entitled ''Who You Staring At: Culture visuelle de la scène no wave des années 1970 et 1980'' (''Visual culture of the no wave scene in the 1970s and 1980s''). Musical performances and three recorded conversations with No Wave artists were included as part of the exhibition.<ref>[https://www.centrepompidou.fr/en/collection/film-and-new-media/who-you-staring-at] ''Who You Staring At?: Visual culture of the no wave scene in the 1970s and 1980s'' February 1 – June 19, 2023, Film, Video, Sound and Digital Collections</ref>
