New Wave Quizzes & Polls

New Wave wasn't just a genre — it was a hostile takeover of the airwaves, and the fans who lived it don't forget a single synth line. With more than 80 quizzes and over 5k plays logged on this site alone, the community has spoken: New Wave diehards are sharp, pulling an 81% correct answer rate that puts genres like Alternative, Indie, and even Classic Rock firmly in the rearview mirror. But here's the catch — Depeche Mode devotees are sitting at 81%, The Cure faithful at a respectable 79%, and Duran Duran fans at 79%... meaning there's real daylight between the casuals and the obsessives. So the question isn't whether you like New Wave — it's whether you can actually prove it.
