About New musick

New musick is a music genre. It is usually classed as a form of post-punk.

From Wikipedia

New musick is a loosely defined style of music and series of articles published in the late 1970s by the British magazine Sounds. New musick was originally coined after a meeting organized by Sounds editor Alan Lewis involving music journalists Jane Suck, Sandy Robertson and Jon Savage in October 1977. The meeting resulted in the group deciding to use "New Musick" as a marketing term for issues in November and December 1977, similar to "new wave", which had previously been used for a series of Sounds articles entitled "Images of the New Wave". The term has been described by Savage as an early label for "post-punk" as well as a subsection of the genre.
