From 1977 to 1987, a four-part documentary - New Wave - revisits the transformation of music

 Musicians and bands such as Billy Idol, The Police, DEVO, Duran Duran, and Oingo Boingo will appear together in the four-part MGM+ documentary - New Wave.The newly released short trailer takes the time back to 1977 to 1987, telling how alternative culture entered the mainstream during this decade and changed the face of pop music.

“It ushered in an era where 'it's okay to be weird'.”This sentence from the trailer sums up the changes the series focuses on.The film looks back at the musical environment of the entire era: from its rebellious beginnings, to constant experimentation in style, technique and expression, to the gradual acceptance of these creations by a wider audience.

Artists involved in the movement will personally review this history, including the New Wave's embrace of women, queer people, and new technologies, as well as its impact on fashion and pop culture.
