Dark Wave Genre

Dark Wave Genre

Dark wave or darkwave is a music genre that began in the late 1970s, coinciding with the popularity of new wave and post-punk. Building on those basic principles, dark wave added dark, introspective lyrics and an undertone of sorrow for some bands. Recently dark wave has become blended with the pop genre which has caused it to rise in popularity. Song artists who are considered dark wave/pop artists include Melanie Martinez & Lana Del Rey.
