| - | '''No Wave''' was a short-lived but influential music and art scene that thrived briefly in [[New York City]] during the late [[1970s]] and early [[1980s]] alongside the [[punk scene]] there. The term ''No Wave'' is in part [[satiric]] [[wordplay]] rejecting the commercial elements of the then-popular [[New Wave music|New Wave]] [[genre]]. The term also highlights the music's experimental nature: ''No Wave'' music belonged to no fixed style or genre. Various groups drew on such disparate styles as [[funk]], [[jazz]], [[blues]], [[punk rock]], [[avant garde]], and [[experimental music|experimental]]. There are, however, some elements common to most No Wave music, such as [[abrasive]] [[atonal]] sounds, [[repetitive]] driving [[rhythms]], and a tendency to emphasize [[musical texture]] over [[melody]] - typical of the early [[downtown music]] of [[La Monte Young]]. No Wave [[lyrics]] often focused on [[nihilism]] and [[confrontation]]. | + | # The act of [[confront]]ing or [[challenging]] another, especially [[face-to-face]] |
