I would consider New Wave more a bridge from art school stuff (a cousin of a branch of punk) like Roxy Music and Talking Heads into synth pop. I think where the road forked was with the likes of the Stranglers (my favorite band mentioned in this thread so far) being the link from punk to New Wave. It all gets a bit messy though.
Yeah, I don't really see the interplay between punk and New Wave, but I've read articles that associate the two, with the claims of New Wave being a product of punk. I think the best that can be said is that, chronologically, New Wave followed punk. JMO
