Über Post-Punk / New Wave
Where punk's energy collided with art-school ideas, synthesizers, and dub bass to produce a decade of innovation across Manchester, London, and Sheffield. Joy Division's bleak post-industrial sound and New Order's electronic-pop reinvention defined the era's polarity. The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, and Kate Bush each took the moment in radically different directions, and the genre's reach has been recurring in indie and electronic music ever since.
