Newstalgia Music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
'Newstalgia music' is a genre consisting of two types of music; "updated covers" of fifties and sixties hits (versions that are not complete note-for-note recreations,) or new songs that capture the feel of the fifties and sixties.
It is believed to derive from the hotrod term newstalgia, which refers to a rod style that mimics the 50's and 60's and employs modern power plants, components and body panels.
Similarly, newstalgia music is comprised of melodic and chordal structures similar stylisticly to one of several styles of music popular in the 50's and 60's, but with more modern arangements, recording techniques and often instrumentation. The Stray Cats and the Mavericks are two national groups often described by others as newstalgia music, and regional acts are starting to promote themselves as newstalgia music acts.
