Among who? Genuine question. I grew up in the 80s in Pennsylvania and never heard them on the radio or MTV. Never knew about them until some 20 years later. (They’re great of course)

The big bands of New Wave are pretty mainstream these days, maybe in part due to New Wave satellite radio stations. I’m a teacher and a lot of kids are big into their parents’ music from the 80s and 90s right now. Also, Morrissey is kind of a cultural phenomenon in Latino communities.
