Definitions for "Electroclash"
Electroclash describes a style of fashion, music, and attitude that fuses New Wave, punk, & electronic dance music with somewhat campy and absurdist post-industrial detachment in addition to vampy and/or camp sexuality. The movement combines the 1980s electropop/New Wave/Italo disco sound by means of synthesizers and drum machines. Visuals that are affiliated with electroclash often resemble or directly allude to post-1970's Westwood and Warhol fashion/art scenes, the mid-70's, Kraftwerk-ian German influences and early-80's New York Downtown dystopian avant-garde à la Liquid Sky.
