Culture Club
The term "no wave" was a pun based on the rejection of commercial new wave music.[8] There are different theories about how the term was coined. Some suggest Lydia Lunch coined the term in an interview with Roy Trakin in New York Rocker.[9] Others suggest it was coined by Chris Nelson (of Mofungo and The Scene Is Now) in New York Rocker.[10][11] Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth claimed to see the term spray-painted on CBGB Second Avenue Theater before seeing it in the press.[12] The movement was short-lived but influenced independent film, fashion and visual art.[13]
