Futurepop
Electronic music genre
Futurepop is an electronic music genre that has been characterized as a blend of synthpop, EBM and dance beats, based on trance and techno.[1][2]
It developed in Western Europe as an outgrowth of both the EBM and electro-industrial music cultures and it began to emerge in the late 1990s with artists like VNV Nation, Covenant, and Apoptygma Berzerk.[2][1][5] Other leading genre artists were Assemblage 23,[1][4] Icon of Coil,[1] Neuroticfish,[6] and Rotersand.[3][7]
Futurepop is associated with the cybergoth subculture.[3] It has become popular in alternative dance clubs, particularly in Germany. Music festivals that feature futurepop bands include Infest, Amphi festival, Wave Gotik Treffen and M'era Luna.[2]
