The new wave of new wave (NWONW) was a term coined by music journalists to describe a subgenre of the British alternative rock scene in the early 1990s, in which bands displayed post-punk and new wave influences, particularly from bands such as the Clash, Blondie, Devo, Squeeze, XTC, Wire, and the Stranglers.<ref name="Childs">Childs, Peter & Storry, Mike (1999) Encyclopaedia of Contemporary British Culture, Routledge, Template:ISBN, p. 365.</ref>
HistoryEdit
The associated bands generally played guitar-based rock music often accompanied by keyboards. The movement was short-lived, and several of the bands involved were later linked with the more commercially successful Britpop, which it immediately preceded, and the NWONW was described by John Harris of The Guardian (one of the journalists who first coined the term)<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> as "Britpop without the good bits".<ref name="Harris">Harris, John (2006) "The new wave of old rubbish", The Guardian, 13 October 2006.</ref> The NME played a major part in promoting and covering the genre, and promoted the "On" event, which featured many of the bands they had labelled NWONW.<ref name="Larkin">Larkin, Colin (2006) The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, Oxford University Press.</ref>

LegacyEdit
Robert Christgau identified the mid-1990s NWONW movement as the peak of a new wave revival that has continued on and off since, stating in 1996, "1994 was the top of a curve we can't be certain we've reached the bottom of".<ref name="Christgau">Christgau, Robert (1996) "How to Beat the Law of Averages", from Details, 1996.</ref>
