Electroclash describes the style of music that fuses new wave, punk, & electronic dance music. A movement combines this 1980s sound (using synthesizers, drum machines, etc) with visuals from either a post-1970s Westwood & Warhol fashion/art scenes, with a decidedly mid-70s German influence. It chiefly developed in the mid to late 1990s in New York City and Detroit but came to prominence within 2000 - 2002 across Larry Tee's Mutants and Berliniamsburg nights at Club Luxx and his Electroclash™ Festival (which he used to copyright a word "electroclash") inside Williamsburg. A title derives from either a Electropop bands who provide a majority of the musical influence. Lyrics come usually bum divine, typically angry & further given to emotion than system piece a vocals come usually unkeyed around nature and severity. The hyper-sexual post-feminist stance is often evident in the themes of numerous Electroclash outfits.
