Deep New Wave

Deep New Wave is a subgenre of New Wave music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by a darker, more melancholic sound than traditional New Wave, often incorporating elements of post-punk, synthpop, and gothic rock. Deep New Wave songs often feature brooding lyrics and minor-key melodies, and are often slower and more atmospheric than traditional New Wave. Artists associated with the genre include The Cure, Joy Division, Bauhaus, and Siouxsie and the Banshees.
