A Punk Pop Affair
The Takeover

By the late 70’s, Punk was losing its popularity from an audience growing disinterested in Punks well known principles or ideals. The younger listeners attention were aimed towards the glam and humor side of the fence. In addition, an instrumental sound (The Synthesizer) becoming more popular by the end of the decade and a severe influence to help define a greater role of the 80’s decade, was part of the arsenal to many New Wave Artists’. Punk Rock Groups and their loyal following observed many new bands being signed by the major record labels both in the UK and USA., calling them a New Wave of Bands. The era will always be known as the New Wave Movement.
Ok so who planted the seed?

The late 60s saw artists’ such as David Bowie, T-Rex, and The New York Dolls , all of whom would pioneer a Rock scene in a different appearance, in glamorous make-up and clothing fashions.This would inspire many future artists’ throughout the 70s and bridging the 80s as we know it today. This created a backlash from Punk especially during Punk Rocks peak in 76, spitting verbiage of over pampered and overproduced music. For New Wavers, Punk was dangerous in speech, however the music style was well liked and deeply infectious.
