I agree its an era and style rather than a sub-genre, if you include electronica such as Gary Numan under the new-wave moniker then I guess you could include the Sparks who in 1979 and 1980 were completely electronic in sound. I tend to think of new-wave bands as being more guitar driven though or at least making use of a guitar instead of being completely electronic based.
