This tag refers to series of new wave compilations named after Flexipop magazine, and to the magazine itself, which was famous for the re-emergence of the flexible music disc in the UK during the 1980s. Launched in 1980 by ex-Record Mirror journalists Barry Cain and Tim Lott, the magazine featured a flexidisc in each issue. The magazine lasted for two years. One of the most notable issues was the February 1981 disc featuring Adam and the Ants performing a version of the Village People hit "Y.M.C.A.", called "A.N.T.S.". The magazine has maintained a memorable reputation among music collectors because of the flexidisc and the revival of interest in 1980s pop.
The compilations "A Tribute to Flexipop", "The Return of Flexipop" and "None Night of Flexipop" are not officially linked to the magazine, but were named after it in order to pay a tribute to the songs released by Flexipop. .
