New wave is a music genre that encompasses pop-oriented styles that emerged in the mid- to late 1970s as a lighter and more melodic "broadening of punk culture". The term was coined by Sire Records founder Seymour Stein as a catch-all for musical styles that emerged after punk rock and ultimately encompassed many contemporary popular music styles, including synth-pop, alternative dance and post-punk.

New wave commercially peaked during the late 1970s into the early 1980s with an abundance of one-hit wonders. In 1981, the MTV channel was launched, which heavily promoted and popularized new-wave acts in the United States. By the mid- to late 1980s, new wave was overtaken by the New Romantic movement in the UK, while in the US, it declined in popularity as other music genres gained commercial success.

New wave-inspired subgenres emerged during the 1980s such as coldwave, minimal wave and darkwave. In the 1990s and 2000s, new wave experienced a brief revival, labelled the "new wave of new wave" or "new new wave" by the press. The genre influenced later internet microgenres such as bloghouse, chillwave, synthwave, vaporwave and egg punk.
