Alternative electronic

Alternative electronic

Alternative electronic is an umbrella term used to describe a range of lesser-known electronic music genres which are related in some fashion to industrial (and sometimes noise) music. The exact definition of what constitutes alternative electronic music varies, but is generally considered to include industrial, ebm, elektro, futurepop, aggrotech, technoid, power noise, power electronics, and, sometimes, synthpop, although this last designation is somewhat ironic, since "pop" suggests popularity.

Although the term has a fairly wide acceptance within the scene that surrounds the music it relates to, there is some contention as to whether the use of the word "alternative" in this sense is correct, given there are other "lesser-known" or underground electronic music genres that have emerged in response to more mainstream dance music (house, techno, or trance) but fall outside the scope of alternative electronic music, e.g. intelligent dance music, breakcore, digital hardcore, gabber, and dubstep.
