WHAT DOES ELECTROCLASH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Electroclash

Electroclash, also known as retro electro, tech pop, nouveau disco, the new new wave – and ambiguously both synthcore and electropunk – is a style of music that fuses 1980s electro and new wave synthpop with 1990s techno and electronic dance music. It emerged in New York and Detroit in the later 1990s, pioneered by acts including Collider, I-F and those associated with Gerald Donald, and is associated with acts including Peaches, Adult, Legowelt, and Fischerspooner. It was popularised by the Electroclash Festival in 2001 and 2002 and subsequent European tours, but faded as a distinctive style in the early 2000s, when it was fused with tech house to form the electro house genre.
