By the start of the 1980s the original punk scene had died, but music changed forever. Popular music became New Wave, a spin off of the disco, experimental and punk 70s but with synths and pop-y sound. While that was happening, a spin off of punk occurred called post-punk. A lot of post-punk music crossed with New Wave. Some was also considered to have Gothic elements like Siouxsie & the Banshees, the Cure, and Joy Division.
