Unlabeled Waves in music?

So for those unfamiliar with the idea of Waves a very solid and well known genre with waves would be SKA.

There is the 1st wave, which was simply a continuation of carribean music like dance hall/reggae etc. Then the 2nd wave was a 70's/80's type movement in America that was an anti-racism movement. Ska music made by white and black people together, aww how cute. Then there's the bastard 3rd wave which is just pure americans in the mid 80's to now making the same ska over and over. (Aquabats, Might Might Bosstones etc.)

Now, there are lots of genres that have obvious phased in and out, do we know there waves?

One major one I think is GARAGE ROCK, I predict we're in atleast the 3rd if not like the 6th wave right. Groups like Oh Sees and Intelligence etc. Are definitely leading the most recent wave. The term "Garage Rock Revival" has been used a lot even, but I feel like it's come back other times, considering the ideas of Garage Rock pretty much started in the 60's.

Acid music! Are we 2nd or 3rd wave? Is early 90's acid separate than the 80's? Are we even in the 4th wave? (referring to latest CMA, EOD, Impakt, new EDMX, AFX etc.?)

For the most part it's unimportant, but I just think it's interesting to think about.

oh it was english, I was always told it was american, my bad.

Don't really care about fucking up the history of ska, fuck 2nd and 3rd wave ska...

people make music... sometimes the media invents scenes so they can lump stuff together and sell units

here's a simplified garage rock wave for you

ludd, that is an epic fail of a graph.

the bit in the 90's when the wave breifly went back in time was a geat time to be alive.

thats a damn shame. cause i put a lot of effort into it

it's slightly more accurate than your history of ska

We've seen waves of 70s style rock, shoegaze, noise rock, synth pop, and electro all pop up recently.

you have

lol?

those aren't waves. they're the splashback from the turds of coke fuelled a&r men in the toilet of music.

also, ludd's graph is bang on. except it needs to raise a bit higher for the late 80s for pixies, sonic youth, big black, etc.

i dunno.. i see sonic youth as more in an arty velvety undergroundy area, where as your mudhoneys are more straight up garage in the vain of pure 60s rock n roll shit like the count five or calico wall or electric prunes. big black had a drum machine so that rules them out and pixies... well you can stick them in under the ETC bit with mudhoney if you like.... the actual peaks and troughs were drawn randomly and had no direct correlation to any particular point in time . apart from the obvious drop off at the end...

yeah ok, i can see sonic youth being more art-rock in the early 80s, but not in the late 80s/early 90s. sister is hardly art-rock...
