Sorry to niggle again, but U2 were also never new wave; I think they are about as far from that as could be. They're a simple rock band. Bangles I wouldn't be too sure about but not as much as U2. Not looking for an argument, but I think you got that one wrong...
Well I will have to check that out, perhaps I will actually find a prog rock song I like.

Very well then, I tend to lump that whole movement under new wave, but I shall state that they are alternative rock/post punk, that better.

I never stated that they die, but they do enter into a decline where they become a niche genre of music for a smaller fanbase.

The Roman Empire is gone but Italy is still one of the world's most powerful economies today. Jazz doesn't dominate the pop charts & music in general like it did in the 50's but it still has a large following.
