You'll get a bunch of different answers, but I generally think it goes
like this:
1st Wave: All the original 60's stuff
2nd Wave: 80's revival - Jon & The Nightriders, Halibuts, Surf
Raiders, Paul Johnson returns to surf, South Bay Reunion '86
3rd Wave: 90's explosion; lots of interest due to Pulp Fiction
I tend to think we are still in the 3rd Wave...there really hasn't
been an upswing to justify a 4th Wave, and things seem to be
sustaining themselves after a drop off in the late 90's.
