Tf is Electroclash
What is electroclash? We knew that by the time we were done making this list, we had to have an answer. So we came up with a few loose tenets: It’s the syncopated rhythm of early electro with its hardware corrupted and its mind in the gutter. It’s a moment from the dawn of file-sharing culture when underground electronic music suddenly broke containment. It’s a humorous deconstruction of serious techno that circled back around to being cool. And if we have to get really a***ytical, it’s a two-decade-long cabaret psychodrama about the tension between dance music’s countercultural beginnings and irresistible co-optation into pop.
Above all, it has to be a banger. And so here are 37 of the clashiest, flashiest, trashiest, most in-on-the-joke dancefloor productions in the tradition of the electroclash sound, from its origins in the late 1990s to its present-day practitioners. Fake genre, you say? Babe, they’re all fake, and this one is sexy. Put on your sunglasses and keep scrolling.
Throw the list out. Who tf would put The Dare on that s***?
That song is f***ing fire
I think they should be able to include more picks from multiple artist
Bc no way songs like Vanished or Crimewave shouldnt be on this list
mostly good list
i feel like the ordering is a little weird but yeah
also would've preferred some diff representation from the indie sleaze/electroclash revival than the ones on this list

crystal castles is kinda weird because they kinda didn't do a lot of pure electroclash despite being thrown under the label so ofen
that first album was a lot of chiptune/bitpop stuff and then everything after was very much witch house
do agree that they should have more on here tho
