Talk:Electropunk

message: So supposedly some guy in 1999 came up with this term? NONSENSE!
Anyone else tired of these quick to write dweebs that write stuff like this? Go write for a fri*ging*** newspaper if you need to.*****
ELECTROPUNK was floating around even in the early 80's when when I was a teeny bopper. It was sort of associated with Electro which was more main mainstreamish and mixed with funk and was more danceable. If it needs to be termed and teamed with an originator then it's a tie between rock gods(now) Joy Division/Martin Hannett and Gary Numan/Tubway army  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.172.26 (talk) 20:45, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: {In haste: Just passin' on my way to the 'pub'} I saw BBC Four's Synth Britannia YouTube, again this morning, and recall the term readily used, vis the late-70s/early-80s Sheffield scene.  Back then (an still), I was intensely interested and, at least in London, the term for post-Cabs yet non-pop dancey stuffs (peaking around 84-85, roughly in Mark Brydon's orbit), was big beat.   (Later, think, The Cure's "Hot Hot Hot!!!".) –DjScrawl (talk) 13:45, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

text: Having said that, and although it does seem a bit of a retrospective re-brand, the broader/umberella 'synthpunk' term does seem useful, as an analogue (puns at no extra charge) of 'electropunk', which I equate more with proto-electroclash, and thereafter.  Esp' since 'big beat's been convincingly appropriated by messers Norman Cook, et al. –DjScrawl (talk) 13:45, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

message: - I am Scott Ryser from the Units, (aka Dr Tex Nology) and I definitely DO NOT approve of replacing the title "SYNTHPUNK" with "Electropunk".  Some people just don't seem to get the distinction. It doesn't matter if more people search for "Electropunk". They are two DIFFERENT styles of music. Synthpunk bands made a conscious decision NOT to use guitars and to play PUNK music on SYNTHESIZERS, not "New Wave Music" or "Dance Music". Synthpunk bands were anti-institutional ... choosing not to sing pretty pop love songs.  We played in Punk clubs with other Punk bands ... only we played our punk music on synthesizers. You can't call a band that just uses an organ or guitars a "synthpunk" band. BUT, you could call them an Electropunk band. If you look at the page about my band, The Units, or the page about The Screamers, or the page about Nervous Gender ... we are all classified as "SYNTHPUNK" bands, for a REASON, and that is how I want to keep it. It defines an era that is gone now. Don't try to water it down by some lame name change. Dr Tex Nology (talk) 19:59, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
