Here in Canada we had a bit of our own dance music movement going on around the same years and it was arguably very heavily influenced by what was going on in Europe at the time.

It is funny when I talk to Americans and what they call EDM and my response is essentially

"So you basically caught up to Canada and Europe on the music scene 25 years later."

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I'm guessing you know Front 242?

@thewindupbirdchronicles Hey, that's some Belgian industrial pioneering right there!

@Kwek00 like this? [media=https://youtu.be/m1cRGVaJF7Y]

they get associated with electronic body music.

@thewindupbirdchronicles That's their most famous song... Also an incredible clip. There used to be some big "best clip ever" list in the US, and this happened to be on there for a while. Not sure who published it, but I know it got a lot of attention when it came out.

@Kwek00 One can argue this comes out of that music in body..

@thewindupbirdchronicles EBM and EDM are too different genres. EDM is just Electronic Dance Music. And basically sounds like rehashes for 90s Eurodance and CanDance from up here.

And depending on who you talk to stuff like Front 242 is often considered Industrial, at least by use older farts from the 90s. :)

I have always been very eclectic in my taste from 90s electronic music, to Seattle grunge, to goth and industrial.

I would have Wigfield, Sisters of Mercy, and Pearl Jam on my mix tapes. lol

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Yes.. but in how they use instrumentation, beats per minute (not thought in other music often) overlap.. so they influence each other.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Not sure if you can draw a direct line... But Front 242 and groups like them kinda influenced a lot of other genres. If you like that stuff, you should look up "New Beat" with hits like:

But was rereleased with a higher pitch just a couple of months later, because DJs played it that way in the clubs.

Dark, electro, industrial vibe going on here.
