Neo Prefix

This category encompasses pages beginning with "neo-" prefix, including its variations such as "neu-" or "new."

What does the neo- prefix mean?[]

The prefix "neo-" comes from the Greek word neos, meaning "new" or "young." In aesthetics, it has two meanings:

• Aesthetics that aim to break from the past (examples: French New Wave, New Wave, New Age)
• Modern revivals or reinterpretation of a significantly older style (examples: Neo-Gothic, Neoclassicism)
• The "Nu-" suffix refers to an "updated" or modern version of something (examples: Nu-Metal, Nu-Goth)

Not all pages that start in "New" (such as New England Gothic or New Money) are included in this category, as they are not derived from these definitions.
