New Wave Music
New wave is a loosely defined music genre that encompasses pop-oriented styles from the late 1970s and the 1980s. It was originally used as a catch-all for the various styles of music that emerged after punk rock, including punk itself. Later, critical consensus favored "new wave" as an umbrella term involving many popular music styles of the era, including power pop, synth-pop, ska revival, and more specific forms of punk rock that were less abrasive. It may also be viewed as a more accessible counterpart of post-punk. Common characteristics of new wave music include a humorous or quirky pop approach, the use of electronic sounds, and a distinctive visual style in music videos and fashion. In the early 1980s, virtually every new pop/rock act – and particularly those that employed synthesizers – were tagged as "new wave". Although new wave shares punk's do-it-yourself philosophy, the artists were more influenced by the styles of the 1950s along with the lighter s ...

Internet Memes Introduced In 2007
The Internet (or internet) is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices. It is a '' network of networks'' that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing. The origins of the Internet date back to the development of packet switching and research commissioned by the United States Department of Defense in the 1960s to enable time-sharing of computers. The primary precursor network, the ARPANET, initially served as a backbone for interconnection of regional academic and military networks in the 1970s to enable resource sharing. ...

Demo (music)
A demo (shortened from "demonstration") is a song or group of songs typically recorded for limited circulation or for reference use, rather than for general public release. A demo is a way for a musician to approximate their ideas in a fixed format, such as cassette tape, compact disc, or digital audio files, and to thereby pass along those ideas to record labels, record producer, producers, or other artists. Musicians often use demos as quick sketches to share with bandmates or arrangers, or simply for personal reference during the songwriting process; in other cases, a songwriter might make a demo to send to artists in hopes of having the song professionally recorded, or a Music publisher (popular music), publisher may need a simple recording for publishing or copyright purposes. Background Demos are typically recorded on relatively crude equipment such as "boom box" cassette recorders, small multitrack recording, four- or eight-track machines, or on personal computers with au ...

Ready 'n' Steady
"Ready 'n' Steady" is a song written by American musicians D. A. Lucchesi and Jim Franks, and performed by the group D. A. The song appeared on '' Billboard'' magazine's Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart for three weeks in June 1979; however, for many years neither the record nor any information about it or the artist could be found. This led many collectors to label "Ready 'n' Steady" a "phantom record" that did not exist at all. A recording surfaced in 2016 and its artist was identified. On the ''Billboard'' Bubbling Under chart The June 16, 1979 issue of '' Billboard'' listed 10 records on its Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, a chart which lists songs ranking just below entry onto the magazine's main chart, the ''Billboard'' Hot 100; the Bubbling Under rankings began with position number 101. One of these was "Ready 'n' Steady" by D.A., listed at the number 106 position (sixth among the ten Bubbling Under records). The record, listed as being released on the Rascal label, m ...

Lost Media
Lost media are pieces of media that are nonexistent, missing, or unavailable to the general public. The term ''lost media'' primarily encompasses visual, audio, or audiovisual media such as films, television and radio broadcasts, music, and video games. Lost artworks and lost literary works may also fit into this umbrella term, although ''lost works'' is a more common expression in these cases. Since the advent of streaming media on the Internet, use of the term ''lost media'' has concentrated on those pieces of mass media that have not surfaced on the World Wide Web or streaming services. Such media—primarily recorded onto magnetic tape in the case of television and radio broadcast masters—may be entirely lost due to the industry practice of wiping (broadcast media was often considered ephemeral and of little historical worth before the rise of home media in the late 1970s). Others are known to exist but are hard to access outside of archives such as the Library of Congress of ...

NPO 3FM
NPO 3FM is a Dutch rhythmic CHR radio station controlled by public broadcaster NPO. The vast majority of the songs played on-air are rock, alternative, indie and pop, though dance and Mega Top 30 tracks may also air at times. History As Radio 3 Launching on 11 October 1965, NPO 3FM was created as Hilversum 3 (later Radio 3) by the Minister for Culture and Social Recreation, Maarten Vrolijk, to counterbalance the popular new offshore stations such as Radio Veronica. It broadcast so-called "vertical programming". Due to the nature of the Dutch public broadcasting system, with several broadcasters being awarded airtime based on the numbers of paying members they have, NPO 3FM hosted radio shows by a different broadcaster daily (respectively: AVRO, VARA, EO+VPRO, TROS, Veronica, NCRV and KRO). The station was quickly popular because of this 'unpredictable' style and diversity (as an example, Christian broadcaster EO used to broadcast Christian-themed programs (including a r ...
