Theo Cateforis, associate professor and director of undergraduate studies in fine arts and music history & cultures, was quoted by The Orange County Register for the story “Here’s how Rock ‘n’ Roll was named and who’s going in the Hall of Fame in 2021.” In Cateforis’s book entitled, “Are We Not New Wave?” he discusses this idea of ‘New Wave’ Rock ‘n’ Roll, saying, “The story of the rise of new wave is one that is intimately tied to the music industry and its desire to harness the power of punk in a more palatable form.”
