Talk:Electronic body music

message: and what's with all the talk of electropunk... this is a term that was invented in 1999 to retroactively describe some bands... how can you say you're trying to be a purist about the original roots of EBM and use this term which was invented after the fact... thatl;s a huge contradiction. The text of this page is largely uncited and it needs a rewrite.--Dr who1975 (talk) 04:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the 80s bands such as Portion Control and Batz Without Flesh used the term "electropunk". its not a new creation. Moreover, Funker Vogt, APB and other bands produce Electro-Industrial, Hellektro and Futurepop, not EBM. --Ada Kataki (talk) 08:08, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Electropunk just redirects to synthpunk, which appears to be the more documented term. If someone feels strongly about the existence of electropunk as distinct from synthpunk, they should write an article about it and provide sources. I'm going to change the references to "electropunk" in the article to synthpunk in order to establish consistency. Aryder779 (talk) 15:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Electropunk

message: There have been some arguments about this article, and that always happens when something is poorly sourced.
All the 'allmusic' stuff isn't good.
I've found several books which have good info and are available online:    
If information from those sources could be added, it would certainly help.
Also, it's worth looking at some better examples of this type of article;
*Alternative rock
*Christian metal
*Grindcore
:They might provide a framework for this article. Cheers,   Chzz  ►  01:45, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestions for improvement 

message: ...has only 20 search engine results. It's obviously cooked up by some dubious journalist guy who smoked too much weed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.96.206.249 (talk) 10:09, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahh, very convincing buddy, I’ll take your word for it over that of one of Europe's best electronic music magazines. Nice. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 20:02, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody cares about a shitty magazine. 1.) It's a weak source. 2.) It's not an established genre term. 3.) It wasn't used by F242. Your source cannot prove it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.96.205.254 (talk) 11:54, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Electro Disco Terrorist Music"... 

message: Hi  just a heads up... an anonymous user operating from various IP addresses in Germany (such as 178.11.254.97 and 188.96.206.249) continues to revert sourced information on this page with no attempt to provide citations to justify their actions. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 15:52, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Again, Patrick Codenys clearly stated that Front 242 had nothing to do with Disco music. They never described their music as Disco! There is no real connection between EBM and Disco... 
I Feel Love by Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer is the only track that has ever been mentioned in music literature. This track is based on a Krautrock bassline that was programmed by Robert Wedel of Popol Vuh. At the time, Moroder was a big fan of Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and related stuff. He tried to blend the electronic ingredients of Krautrock / Berlin School with his regular Disco stuff. That's the entire story. And that's the only reason why it sounds so futuristic.
Gabi Delgado-Lopez of DAF is the only guy within the EBM context who really fell in love with this track. The Disco influence is completely overrated and almost nonexistent in EBM. Important is the Krautrock / Berlin School influence, represented by its repetitive bass sequences.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.3.103.178 (talk) 01:12, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Krautrock and Berlin School, not Disco! 

message: This is so plain stupid, i wanna puke. You people obviously don't know how Disco music sounds like.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.71.3.231 (talk) 23:25, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Typical EBM rhythms alternate between the 4/4 beats of disco and more abrasive rock-inspired backbeats" 

message: WSKU is (apparently) in Little Falls, New York. WKSU is in Kent, Ohio. I couldn't tell which station it really was-- whether they copied the call letters correctly or the location correctly. The archive.org link immediately redirects to the root directory of that website, as does every other interview_NNN.php link on the interviews page. Then, simply pulling the file such as with wget or 
view-source:https://web.archive.org/web/20070212045644/http://kraftwerk.technopop.com.br/interview_108.php
allows one to read the interview. There is just one reference to Kent, Ohio and repeated indications of "WSKU" as the one asking questions, but at the end, Ralf Hütter said: "Yes, thank you for talking to you and say hello and "auf wieder sehen" to all your people in Ohio."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.25.87.21 (talk) 10:48, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
