when I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child - but now I am a man.
No Wave isn't really a thing, is it? The original scene was about five bands, who made five decent songs all put together, and I can think of exactly one current band who anyone ever calls "no wavey" (Can Can Heads). It's just this really trivial label that probably came about because some music mags dug Lydia Lunch. Like Britpop or some poo poo.

There were only like five good post-punk bands too.

I'm pretty sure that's not right.

Wrong. No Wave was definitely a thing and it was insanely influential for how many bands (and songs) were involved in it.

Insanely influential?
