Alternative Dance
Alternative dance (also known as indie dance or underground dance in the U.S.) is a musical genre that mixes alternative rock with electronic dance music. Although largely confined to the British Isles, it has gained American and worldwide exposure through acts such as New Order in the 1980s and the Prodigy in the 1990s. Characteristics AllMusic states that alternative dance mixes the "melodic song structure of alternative and indie rock with electronic beats, synths and/or samples, and club orientation of post-disco dance music". ''The Sacramento Bee'' calls it "postmodern– Eurosynth–technopop– New Wave in a blender". The genre draws heavily on club culture for inspiration while incorporating other styles of music such as electropop, house, and EBM.
