Underground
music reviews by genre
A
musical form which originated with the divergence of Punk using found or
unconventional instrumentation to make art from what would have formerly
been considered mere noise. Eventually, Industrial music evolved largely
towards electronic instrumentation, spawning the genre commonly referred
to as Elektro or EBM. For more information, read the rec.music.industrial
FAQ.
The sister of Industrial music,
Goth was also born from Punk's split. The Gothic movement prizes dark,
ethereal (or should I say 'funereal') beauty, often meshing very old, traditional
musical styles (renaissance, baroque, victorian, folk, etc.) with newer
techniques to create a moody, seductive atmosphere of emotion and darkness.

alt.gothic FAQ

Miscellaneous
This category embodies all
those eclectic bits of glory which I find myself listening to which don't
fall into either the Industrial or Gothic genres. This could be anything.
I'm not kidding. Really.
