No Wave was an underground music, art, film movement that took place in NY in the 70s-80s. Bands stemming from New Wave are Sonic Youth, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, DNA, and more. No Wave music features a very avant garde take on music, sometimes displaying a disturbing amount of atonal songs with a definite pulse. Cheap art, cheap drugs. The music also combines different genres that usually don't go together such as jazz, punk, blues and folk. Although the movement was short lived, it was very interesting and not to be forgotten.
