Electroclash? Synthpop? Dance Punk? Electro Pop? Electrocrass?

second part) only popular electro house kinda stuff is daft punk, axwell and shit like that... i don't even really like that shit, i need the stuff that treads more into the electro then the house... daft punk being the only exception.... just house or just electro is too boring... and electro-house is boring too because it's too heavily influenced by house.

so you need both to produce good chunes.

True True, if they played the older electro at parties i would go nuts. And yes new electro does have LOTS of house in it, but it seems to be the popular genre of choice at parties, but some of Electro House gets old at times.

me <- never at rave parties listening to house or electro or any sort of spawn of it./ never at rave parties spinning my mash of the electroclash of today and yesteryore and french filter house and etc.

you can find me in the club where music that isn't too house-y still thrives.


















(yes, i'll probably have some 'bubb' too or some shit)

I love electro. True electro that is. I was around when the genre made it's debut in the early 80's. Groups like Information Society, Mantronix, even Afrikka Bambaataa paved the way using new wave sounds with urban dance beats. Bands like Depeche Mode, New Order, and Erasure have been rocking electro/synth tunes for over two decades.

ElectroClash in the late 90's did a really good job emulating that. Then the post generation of emo-pop came about. Which is turning out to be not alot more than digitally sounding synth-pop with a vocodor vocal laced in. But I'm not here to split hairs. Electro is nothing new. Just resurfaced because the music was fun and in the past few years, it seems that EDM was losing it's "fun" feel.

It's American culture to have to label EVERYTHING. We've been trained by the corporate legions to equate something without label to not have value. We avoid generic products on the shelves of our favorite grocery store even though the product inside is no different than the one with the colorful label.

Music is no different.

As an artist, it's hard to market yourself when your sound is not only quite diverse, but spans many different sounds.
