New Wave Quiz Hub

From the Blitz Kids to the MTV Generation

New Wave was as much about fashion and visual art as it was about music. Challenge yourself with questions about the legendary Blondie and Debbie Harry, the quirky innovation of Talking Heads, and the brooding atmosphere of The Cure. Revisit the "New Romantic" icons like Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet, or the chart-topping synth mastery of The Human League and Devo.

For fans of the British scene, we have deep dives into the moody, electronic soundscapes of Depeche Mode and New Order, as well as the ska-infused rhythms of The Police and the jagged pop of Elvis Costello.
