New wave – The new wave was originated and introduced in 1976 in Great Britain by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren as an alternative label for what was also being called `Punk`. The term referred to Avant-garde French New wave film movements of the 1960s. The label of the New Wave was soon picked up by British punk frenzies such as `Sniffin Glue` and then soon after, the professional music press. For a period of time in 1976 and 1977 the two terms were interchangeable. But by the end of 1977, the term `New Wave` had replaced `Punk` as the definition for new underground music in the UK and had emerged as a movement in its own rights by 1979, incorporating aspects of mod subculture, electronic music, disco and punk. During the 1980s, the US’s New Wave became a catch-all term that applied to new British style music acts and in particular, general synth pop acts. The 1990s and 2000s has seen rivals and a number of acts that have been influenced by a variety of New Wave styles. The regional scenes of New Wave are Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, UK, US and Yugoslavia.
Electronic Rock – Electronic rock is also commonly known as electro-rock, digital rock or synth-rock. It is the combination of electronic music with traditional rock music. The main idea of development of Electronic Rock would be the utilisation of new digital technologies in the recording, writing and live production of rock music. The main cultural origins of Electronic Rock are mid 1990s New York and Manchester.
Christian Rock – Christian Rock is a form of rock music played by bands whose members are Christians. The lyrics are largely based on matters concerned with the concept of Christian faith. The Christian Rock genre is most popular in the US, although world wide popularity is common with some bands.
Psychedelic Rock – Psychedelic Rock is a style of rock music that is inspired or influenced by psychedelic cultures. It is also influenced by attempts to replicate and enhance the mind-altering of psychedelic drugs. Among British and US garage and folk rock bands during the mid 1960s was when psychedelic rock emerged. It bridged the transformation from early blues based rock to progressive rock, art rock, experimental pop, hard rock and eventually heavy metal. The culture origins of Psychedelic Rock are the mid 1960s UK and US.
Post Rock – Post Rock is the genre of alternative rock. It is characterised by the use of musical instruments that are commonly associated with rock music but using rhythms, harmonies, melodies, timbre and chord progression that is not normally associated with that of rock traditions. Although Post Rock is rooted in the Indie or Underground scenes of the 1980s and 90s, the style often bears little familiarity musically with that of Indie Rock. The mainstream popularity of Post Rock has been limited highest in the early 000s, but has steadily been increasing since 2006. The cultural origins of this style of music is late 1980s early 90s in Canada, the US and the UK. The regional scenes of the Post Rock genre are Montreal, Iceland, Chicago, Louisville and Glasgow.-]
