Electroclash

Electroclash is a contemporary music genre that fuses new wave, punk, & electronic dance music. The movement combines this 1980s sound (using synthesizers, drum machines, etc) with visuals from the post-1970s Westwood & Warhol fashion/art scenes. It mainly developed in the mid to late 1990s in New York City and Detroit. The official home to electroclash was Luxx in Williamsburg from 2000 - 2002, at a party hosted by Larry Tee, the man who created and owns the word "electroclash". The name derives from the Electropop bands who provide the majority of the musical influence. Lyrics are generally punk inspired, often angry and more given to emotion than technique.
