Interesting you picked up on that. I don’t think any music genre actually dies. The real problem with EBM is the good stuff is rare especially these days. In the late 80s each EBM (or industrial) band had it’s own distinct personality. Today there are a lot of copy cat bands and almost none are as good as the originals. Unfortunately most of the acts from the 80s also can’t match their original albums in quality. That said a great song pops up from time to time and you never know the next “Nirvana” of the EBM world could show up… it’s unlikely but possible. That’s what’s great about music!

For me EBM died in the early 90′s, the good stuff it had passed on into the techno scene. Nice videos.

I find it interesting you use the work “was” in reference to EBM being a good genre. Do you believe that it [EBM] is dead?

I find this interesting as late “futurepop/synthpop” group Neuroticfish shared this feeling in stressing it with their offical website’s url being ebmisdead.com

I am stuck in the middle in the argument really, or maybe just ill-informed.
