The first post-punk bands which shifted towards dark music with gothic overtones include Siouxsie and the Banshees,  Joy Division, Bauhaus and the Cure.

Underground music comprises musical genres beyond mainstream culture. Any song that is not being legally commercialized is considered underground. Underground music may tend to express common ideas, such as high regard for sincerity and intimacy, freedom of creative expression as opposed to the highly formulaic composition of commercial music, and appreciation of artistic individuality as opposed to conformity to current mainstream trends. Apart from perhaps the underground rock scenes in the pre-Mikhail Gorbachev Soviet Union, or the modern anti-Islamic metal […]

Japanoise (ジャパノイズ Japanoizu), a portmanteau of “Japanese” and “noise”, is the noise music scene of Japan. Nick Cain of The Wire identifies the “primacy of Japanese Noise artists like Merzbow, Hijokaidanand Incapacitants as one of the major developments in noise music since 1990. Certain Japanese noise artists themselves feel uncomfortable being categorized under the umbrella of “Japanese noise”, arguing that use of the term is a way of ignoring the differences between musicians who don’t necessarily follow the same approach […]

Minimal wave is a broad classification of music that comprises obscure, atypical examples of genres such as new wave, stripped-down electronic or synthesizer music, synth-pop, post-punk, and coldwave. Most of the music tends to focus on electronic, pre-MIDI instrumentation and themes of sincere, rather than ironic, detachment. The terming of “minimal wave” draws some contention. Although much minimal wave is classified in the late 1970s and early 1980s and subsequently appeared on bootleg and one-off compilations, the genre didn’t have […]

Industrial music is a genre of experimental music which draws on harsh, transgressive or provocative sounds and themes. AllMusic defines industrial music as the “most abrasive and aggressive fusion of rock and electronic music”; “initially a blend of avant-garde electronics experiments (tape music, musique concrète, white noise, synthesizers, sequencers, etc.) and punk provocation”. The term was coined in the mid-1970s with the founding of Industrial Records by members of Throbbing Gristle and Monte Cazazza. While the genre name originated with […]

Dark cabaret may be a simple description of the theme and mood of a cabaret performance, but more recently has come to define a particular musical genre which draws on the aesthetics of the decadent, risque German Weimar-era cabarets, burlesque and vaudeville shows with the stylings of post-1970s goth and punk music. Cabaret proper had long associations with counter-culture and dealt with disturbing themes, as exemplified by The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, with one of its best known songs “Mack the Knife” (“Moritat von Mackie Messer“) which tells the story of a murderous anti-hero, or the 1933 […]

Initially new wave was similar to punk rock, before becoming a distinct genre. It subsequently engendered subgenres and fusions, including synth-pop. New wave differs from other movements with ties […]
