> Which new band will still be around in 45 years?
Excellent question! It looks like Two-Tone is bringing ska back with a new wave of punk rock energy! I think The Specials are pretty special and will likely be around for a long time.
On the other hand, the "new wave" movement of punk rock music will go nowhere. The Cure, Joy Division, Tubeway Army: check the dustbin behind the record stores in a few years.
