Electroclash

Electroclash is a vibrant fusion of new wave and electronic music that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by its cheeky, retro-futuristic aesthetic and a playful embrace of irony and kitsch. With a sound that blends the raw energy of punk with the synthetic textures of 1980s synth-pop, it often features deadpan vocals, punchy beats, and a DIY ethos. Notable for its underground roots, the genre was propelled by acts like Fischerspooner and Peaches, who brought a theatrical flair to its edgy, danceable sound.
