Sumario:This research reflects on the new wave as a musical genre and its problems when it comes to locating it into the Spanish context through the particular case of la Movida and the Radio Futura group. Features such as pastiche, irony, or negotiations around the concept of modernity that appeared in the eighties are approached. The methodology used considers tools taken from cultural studies, popular music studies, as well as others borrowed from musicology, particularly for the analysis of some musical elements. At first, contradictions inside the new wave as a musical genre and its struggling relationship with postmodernity are addressed. Secondly, the example of Radio Futura is analysed as one of the groups that put the new wave into the Spanish popular music scenes of the eighties. Finally, through the song “Enamorado de la moda juvenil” features such as the new wave’s punk legacy or irony are analysed to think about how these elements work outside the British and American contexts.
