| | Electroclash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Electroclash describes a style of fashion, music, and attitude that fuses new wave, punk, and electronic dance music with somewhat campy and absurdist post-industrial detachment - alongside vampy and/or camp sexuality. | | | Lyrics are generally tongue-in-cheek and punk inspired, and often more given to attitude and pose than poetics or theme; while the vocal delivery is typically atonal to the point of caricature. | | | Tee's early electroclash parties were defined by tranny MCs, cocaine, a crowd dressed in revealing 1980s-inspired outfits, and Tee's collection of obscure new wave and disco remix records. |

| | Electrocrass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This style of music is characterized by blatantly and unapologetically sexual lyrics, lo-fi sounding synthesizer-crafted beats, and a blend of rap-like lyrics with more traditional and irreverent pop delivery. | | | Electrocrass is an early 2005 phenomenon and is considered a subcategory of the broader electronic music style, electroclash. | | | The controversial and graphic nature of the lyrics that these artists create is usually not an issue, as none have achieved mainstream success and all are either signed to an indie label or self-release their music. |

| | Electroclash began as an esoteric offshoot of techno, revisiting some of the genre's original sonic touchstones: Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, New Order, Afrika Bambaataa and New York disco. | | | Electroclash aligns itself with the tradition of stylish, charismatic and outlandish pop performers. | | | Because fashion's goldfish attention span is antithetical to the lasting power of great music, few worthwhile bands have come up from the catwalk rather than the street. |

| | The House of Diabolique vs. "Electroclash" |
| | Electroclash is more an extension of punk and new wave than actual electro, and if you ask an electroclash artist who their influences are, they're sure not to name any of the electro artists I mentioned above. | | | The leader of an electroclash band, now disbanded, once remarked to me (after I gave him a CD of electro) how stupid he thought the lyrics to 'Body Mechanic' by Quadrant Six were. | | | Setting electroclash up as the antithesis of house music is a huge mistake, not just because it alienates the dance floor massive.. |

| | Last month, he tacitly admitted that "electroclash" had become a stigma when he announced that his showcase would henceforth be known as the Outsider Electronic Music Festival. | | | While bad electroclash preens behind a veil of mawkish affectation, the good stuff siphons some replenishing essentials from the well of '80s electro and new wave: a mind for song structure, vocals that serve as more than ecstasy spikes, cold textures and tight grooves ripe for new-technology redress. | | | The name of Tee's music festival was quickly turned into a genre label, and almost as quickly began to create a backlash. |

| | Electroclash received a lot of flak from "original" electro fans who thought it was derivative "fake music" for trendies and wannabe hipsters. | | | For example, the Juno site in UK for new dance music releases has "electroclash" as one its categories. | | | New York promoter Larry Tee who used to run the Electroclash music festival in Williamsburg got his share of bad-mouthing and changed the fest's name to the Outsider Music Festival. |

| | The Austin Chronicle Music: This Is Electroclash |
| | The hallmarks of Electroclash™, a term Tee actually trademarked, are a preponderance of vocoders, "Blue Monday"-like basslines and beats, and an element of outlandishness like that of the "Emerge"ing Fischerspooner, whose gender-bending, occasionally lip-synched performances are closer to a fashion show than a rock concert. | | | From Donnie Darko to music's biggest new buzzword, "electroclash," there's no escaping the Eighties, which is back with a vengeance, lurking around every corner. | | | There, amid the bowed bass and booze-soaked drinking songs, slithered out a peppy progression of notes that hearkened back 20 years: It was New Order's 1983 nugget "Age of Consent," replete with faux-synth guitar effects. |

| | Don’t call it a comeback (Metro Times Detroit) |
| | At its most surface level, electroclash is the umbrella term for a relatively wide subspectrum of music that blends New Wave, classic electro, DIY punk ethos and a handful of other retrograde/forward-looking, blender-worthy genre monikers. | | | Electroclash is one of those polarizing musical genres/socio-cultural phenomena/hype tornado memes that seems to take over popular culture every few years. | | | When the Electroclash Tour rolls into the Majestic Theatre (all things considered, the only venue really suited to this kind of cross-cultural hubbub), it will roll in not just with the live performances from the marquee acts, but also with Tee and several guest DJs manning the turntables. |
