Electroclash is a form of underground dance music.
It kind of goes in 3 ways: Artsy, "intellectual" musicians who love art galleries, then there's
super-queer, club-oriented, has-nothing-to-do-with-nothing lyrics, and finally, the third direction, the dark, or "synthtron" (see
Ishkur's guide to electronic music), which isn't as camp, the artists sharing album space on compilations with miss kittin, Front 242 and even
dope stars inc.
The genre is alright. You can be a pretentious wannabe-in-the-80s valley girl, A european light-goth, or a simple pop-tart, and listen to it.
