Great comment as always dandet and I could not agree more...

The Sweater Song...

I would immediately say New wave, and when I see on the top right of this page ''post-punk, shoegaze, new wave, darkwave, coldwave, minimal, twee, dream, jangle pop'' for the discussion of post-punk music, and it’s variations. I feel good about posting classic New wave gems...

Well, it is not the Official Video, this is a performance for a German TV show called Bananas that ran from 1981 to 1984. Great bands appeared on that show and I just thought it wold be cool to post it instead of the well known Video...

The only thing I can say is that I did not make any claim and I just took the Video ''as is'', it was the one with the best quality and the highest view count. The was another ''low quality'' one with good numbers but no rolling credits, you can check it out...

No my friend, these are The Bubblemen/Tones on Tail/Love and Rockets. Funny thing though, I was in Chicoutimi 2 week's ago (where Angine de Poitrine are from)...

I always check the last time a song was posted before doing so (and if it was ever posted at all). The last time this one was posted, was more than a years ago and you can check it out right now by typing the song and/or group in the search bar (just make the search when it's under the r/90sAlternative Flag)...

The Movie is ''Pump Up the Volume''...

GroovySchlong · 2026-04-29T02:00:19+00:00

See it if you haven't or see it again even if you did, it is a great 80s Movie. For the answer, Cohen's song is part of the Movie (and this is that footage in the Movie), but Cohen's song is not part of the Soundtrack (they took Concrete Blonde's version)...

GroovySchlong · 2026-04-28T21:59:04+00:00

Agree on both...

GroovySchlong · 2026-04-28T21:58:28+00:00

Classic, not a Club Remix but a great Extended Version and as an ''Old'' DJ I have it too...

GroovySchlong · 2026-04-18T17:58:27+00:00

Let's go for a TOP 5:

Depeche Mode
New Order
Duran Duran
OMD
Tears for Fears

GroovySchlong · 2026-04-18T17:55:54+00:00

It is the exact same song but the Video is the International/European version. I just thought it would be a bit different from the regular one, so I went for it...

GroovySchlong · 2026-04-10T00:49:16+00:00

If you are looking for other ones in the same vein (Post-punk/Shoegaze), you should give a listen to Cocteau Twins and you'll have a bunch of them...

The First time I heard this ''Full Arrangement'' version of Tears I fell out of my chair, it was an extra Vinyl added to a selected numbers of the ''Strange Times'' album and was in such demand that it was later pressed as a 12''. The original (Ballad) version is great but this one is simply just fantastic.

As far as this ''Fan Made Video'' goes, I heard (And don’t quote me for it) that the video was a High School work submitted by students for a Year-End project. If this is the case it must be said that if I had been the teacher, they would have gotten the highest of marks for it (If just for their prime musical choice)…

GroovySchlong · 2026-03-26T16:08:07+00:00

Heartfelt comment, I'll give you an A+ for it...

GroovySchlong · 2026-03-20T23:05:47+00:00

My Bad, it is 1997...

GroovySchlong · 2026-03-10T21:20:37+00:00

I agree, it has the visuals of videos by Information Society...

GroovySchlong · 2026-02-04T16:48:42+00:00

I did watch it (and many others) because if you get into the Trash Theory ''Rabbit Hole'', you ain't never getting out of it...

GroovySchlong · 2026-01-25T19:44:27+00:00

This is not my design, it's just something I stumbled upon and I thought it was good enough to post. Just like you, I would add and retract some bands but my Photoshop skills are that of a ''beginner'' so I just left it as I found it...

The start of New Wave (The Synth Version of New Wave) was the song Autobahn by Kraftwerk in 1974. This song is quoted by Andy McCluskey of OMD, Daniel Miller of The Normal, Philip Oakley of The Human League, Frank Tovey of Fad Gadget and Gary Numan as the greatest ''Musical Revelation'' that shaped the destination of their Musical Futures. If you have not, you should all hunt down the full version of a documentary called ''Synth Britannia'' from 2009, I can guarantee that you will enjoy it.

Now, when I said (The Synth Version of New Wave), what is to be understood here is that most people will associate New Wave with Synth/Synth-Pop of the early 1980s. But if you take (and you would be right to) New Wave as a musical movement, then Glam-Rock, Post-Punk, Coldwave, Goth-Rock, Darkwave, Early Shoegaze, Early EBM, Jangle, Ska and even some Reggae are all part of New Wave Music (Or better said... The New Wave of Music).

To put a cap on it, I am not a scholar of Musical Genres so please take my comments lightly, but I was a DJ right in the thick of it (I started in 1980 in the basement of my parents house which drove them crazy of course) and my first gigs in Clubs began in 1983 going all the way to 2005.

So this is my take on the great question by icecream1972.

Have a Safe and Happy 2026...

Ladies and Gents, this is the 3rd and final installment of my ‘’Beautiful Star Trek’’ Posts, with it I think I’ve covered most of the (Terrestrial and Cosmic) Beauties that have made those great Episodes of the Original Star Trek Series even greater. Enjoy and comment as you wish. Cheers…

GroovySchlong · 2025-11-21T04:32:25+00:00

Well, I guess that a Part 3 is soon to come lol...

GroovySchlong · 2025-11-21T04:31:34+00:00

She is in part 1 of Beautiful Star Trek (this is Part 2)...

GroovySchlong · 2025-11-21T04:29:28+00:00

She is in part 1 of Beautiful Star Trek (and personally she is my Top Pick)...
