New Pop was a British-centric pop music movement consisting of ambitious, DIY-minded artists who achieved commercial success in the early 1980s through sources such as MTV. Rooted in the post-punk movement of the late 1970s, the movement spanned a wide variety of styles and artists, including acts such as The Human League and ABC.
"New Music" is a roughly equivalent but slightly more expansive umbrella term used by the music industry and by American music journalists during the 1980s to characterize the "new" movements like New Pop and New Romanticism. New Music was a pop music and cultural phenomenon in the US associated with the Second British Invasion.
