Fair enough!
In 1982 I was in a hard rock band and those that liked New Wave were commonly being beat up by some of the guys I knew (I was not one of those kinds and, although they didn't know it, I was a DJ playing all kinds of the stuff they couldn't stand!).
That said, I really got into New Wave, Goth, and all those similar types of genres much later to the point that I listen to far more from those genres now than I do any of the rock styles!
