Marc Masters' "No Wave", Thurston Moore & Byron Coley's "No Wave: Post-Punk. Underground. New York. 1976-1980", Simon Reynolds' "Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978–1984", Steven Blush' "New York Rock: From the Rise of The Velvet Underground to the Fall of CBGB", Phil Gilgunn's doctoral thesis "Distillation and Synthesis: Aesthetics and Practice in Rhys Chatham's Music for Electric Guitar" and Kyle Gann's "American Music in the Twentieth Century" or "Music Downtown: Writings from the Village Voice". Which along with no wave living encyclopaedia, Weasel Walter, are the basis for most of my 'academic' knowledge on the subject. (Though I reject the widespread notion that relates it with post-punk. It's a negation of punk, not its aufheben in the hegelian sense.)

Proto-no wave: a variety of influences that led to No Wave music, pre-dating the movement itself: from punk, through the avant-garde, to improvised music.

No wave: the music genre itself in the New York City scene and — to a lesser degree — beyond, between 1976 and 1979 / early 1980. Original NYC no wave scenesters include: Jack Ruby, Boris Policeband, The Scabs / Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Beirut Slump, 8 Eyed Spy, Lydia Lunch, The Raybeats, James Chance & The Contortions, James White and The Blacks, James Chance with the Pill Factory, Bush Tetras, China / Mars, Kongress, Red Transistor, Von Lmo, DNA, Arto Lindsay, R.L. Crutchfield's Dark Day, Rotating Power Tools / The Lounge Lizards, N. Dodo Band, Theoretical Girls, Daily Life, The Static, Disband, A Band, Y Pants, Glenn Branca, China Shop, Circus Mort, The Clothespins, Terminal, The Gynecologists, Arsenal, Tone Death, The Tenant, Rhys Chatham's Guitar Trio, UT, Love of Life Orchestra, Communists, Chinese Puzzle, NNB, Blinding Headache, Information, No Group, Mofungo, The Girls, New York Gong, Material, Sick Dick and the Volkswagens, Liquid Idiot / The Idiot Orchestra, Model Citizens, The Dance, Rosa Yemen, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Suicide / Martin Rev, The Futants, Ike Yard.

Post-no wave: the decaying original scene past their prime time, plus the subsequent wave — no pun intended — of adepts who furthered the experimental traits and merged its sound with other genres in the 1980s and 90s. During this period many VV.AA. compilations proliferated: "Noise Fest" (1981), "Just Another Asshole #5" (1981), "Peripheral Vision" (1982), "State of the Union" (1982, 1992, 1996), "Tellus" (#1 1983; #2, #3, #5 and #6 1984; #8 USA/Germany and #10 All Guitars! 1985), "Speed Trials" (1985), "Island of Sanity: New Music From New York City" (1987), etc. but none achieved the same success as "No New York".

Jim Sclavunos' "No" fanzine and Barbara Ess' "Just Another Asshole" publications as well, but they're quite hard to find...
