The Scottish New Wave is a genre of music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s in Scotland. It is characterized by a blend of post-punk, new wave, and indie rock styles, with a focus on lyrical themes of social and political issues. The genre was heavily influenced by the punk and new wave movements of the late 1970s, and was led by bands such as Orange Juice, Josef K, and The Fire Engines. The genre was also heavily influenced by the DIY ethic of punk, and many of the bands released their own records on independent labels. The Scottish New Wave was an important part of the UK post-punk scene, and its influence can still be heard in the music of many modern Scottish bands.
