Belgian New Wave

Emerging in the late 1970s, Belgian New Wave is a genre of music that combines elements of punk rock and new wave. Characterized by its use of synthesizers, drum machines, and electronic instruments, Belgian New Wave features a dark and moody sound that reflects the political and social tensions of the time. Bands like The Neon Judgement and Front 242 were pioneers of the genre, which continues to influence contemporary electronic music today.
