Neue Deutsche Welle

Neue Deutsche Welle ( New German Wave), shortened to NDW, is a style of West German rock music starting from post-punk and new wave music with elements taken from electronic music. The term was created by Dutch radio DJ Frits Spits on the popular nationwide ratio station Hilversum 3, which was popular among German listeners. Soon after that, the term was used in a record-shop advertisement by Burkhardt Seiler in an August 1979 issue of the West German magazine "Sounds". It was then used by journalist Alfred Hilsberg in an article about the movement titled ("New German Wave — From Grey Cities' Walls") in "Sounds" in October 1979.
