Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want the Soft Pink Truth? is the second album by The Soft Pink Truth, a side-project of Drew Daniel of the electronic music duo Matmos.

This album consists of covers of various punk rock and hardcore bands from the seventies and eighties. The album title itself is an allusion to the song title "Do You Want New Wave or do you want the Truth?" by the Minutemen. Only the last song is not a punk cover.
