Heardle New Wave

Heardle New Wave is a game that lets you dive into the rich and diverse world of new wave music. New wave is a genre that encompasses pop-oriented styles from the 1970s through the 1980s. It is considered a lighter and more melodic "broadening of punk culture." Originally, the term was used as a catch-all for the various styles of music that emerged after punk rock. Later, critical consensus favored "new wave" as an umbrella term involving many contemporary popular music styles, including synth-pop, alternative dance, and post-punk. The main new wave movement coincided with late 1970s punk and continued into the early 1980s.
