You seem to have it all worked out! Don't think I could add to that...
Where would Blondie -possibly the most famous New Wave group - fit into that group? Their early stuff was quite Punkish, then they became more glossy synth-pop.

Blondie could probably fit into all 3 categories, actually.

The Jam and Roxy Music would probably be post-punk.

Where do Thomas Dolby, Gary Numan, and club-wave fit in? And you should probably add dance-pop like The Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, and even Madonna and Prince.

The "New Wave" category is too fluid and its origins are too far-reaching to tree-out like that.
Nice try, though!
