Talk:Second British Invasion

Second British Invasion
The 80s British Invasion is missing one of my favorites. Musical Youth, who had the hit Pass the Dutchie. They were kids from England and very artistic. Dionswope (talk) 03:09, 21 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Really surprised Depeche Mode was left off of the main page too. 2605:A601:A801:FA00:CC9F:8C5F:1CA:8844 (talk) 20:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

2000s+ invasions
I wouldn't call it over by 2002. With Atomic Kitten, 1 Direction, The Wanted, etc. it continued. They even complained about it on the show Big Time Rush. I hope someone continues it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawaiisunfun (talk • contribs) 08:02, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

New pop, not new wave: a story in two quotations
From the new pop page: ""New music" is a roughly equivalent but slightly more expansive umbrella term for a pop music and cultural phenomenon in the US associated with the Second British Invasion. The term was used by the music industry and by American music journalists during the 1980s to characterize then-new movements like new pop and New Romanticism."

From the new wave page: "Chuck Eddy, who wrote for the Village Voice in the 1980s, said in a 2011 interview that by the time of British New Pop acts' popularity on MTV, "New Wave had already been over by then. New wave was not synth music; it wasn’t even this sort of funny-haircut music. It was the guy in the Boomtown Rats wearing pajamas.""

I wonder which sort of music it is this page is referring to... 137.22.187.42 (talk) 14:31, 12 January 2024 (UTC)


 * If you want a strong argument on Wikipedia, cite WP:SECONDARY sources. Don't cite Wikipedia itself, which fails WP:USERG and is unreliable.
 * Generally, we want our message to be consistent, but the consistency must come from outside of Wikipedia, not inside, or we would be in danger of being consistently wrong. Binksternet (talk) 16:14, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The first three sources on the article call it new pop instead of new wave, so i think it should be changed. 2600:1008:B175:842:617E:9115:B94C:55F9 (talk) 00:38, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
