New Wave is a term borrowed from film criticism (nouvelle vague: characterised by the work of Jean-Luc Goddard, Fançois Truffaut, and others) and applied in the 1960s to the kind of imagistic, highly metaphoric science fiction stories, inclined more towards psychology and the soft sciences than to hard sf, exemplified by the work of Brian Aldiss, J.G. Ballard, M. John Harrison, Michael Moorcock, and many others.

The term "new wave" is also applied to 1970s punk rock in the UK and to new wave music.
