Electroclash
90年代后期再纽约和底特率开始形成气候,有后来由于Larry Tee自己举办了Electroclash™ Festival到达一个高度。Electroclash是混合了NEW WAVE、PUNK和电子舞曲的一种音乐形式,NEW WAVE的特性让它们和其他的ROCK或者PUNK可以区别开来,比如大量使用合成器和鼓机等等(听听Ladytron新专辑中的soft power吧,简直就是一直女声DEPTCH MOD,真是复古);歌词上则主要是收到Punk的影响(比如Ladytron的歌曲Seventeen是这样写的:They only want you when you're seventeen;When you're twenty-one;You're no fun;They take a polaroid and let you go;Say they'll let you know;So come on,然后上述歌词重复7次,歌词稍做修改就结束全曲,有点PUNK的影子吧),而不在象NEW WAVE 乐团那样吧很多精力放在风花血夜的描述上,同样有点象PUNK一样更重情绪表达而不是技术炫耀(只是相对而言,应为它们不只用乐曲还用很多电子设备,传统的技术论很难比较)。外观衣着受到Eurotrash的影响,啥是Eurotrash俺并不知道(可能指一种生活方式吧,低雅?低调的优雅?kitch?自己查吧。。。)
