Aggrotech

Description

Aggrotech is a subgenre of electronic music that combines elements of industrial, EBM (Electronic Body Music), and dark electro. It is characterized by its aggressive beats, harsh vocals, and themes often revolving around dystopian and cyberpunk aesthetics.

History

Aggrotech emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a more aggressive offshoot of the industrial and EBM scenes. It gained popularity in goth and industrial clubs, with bands like Hocico and Suicide Commando leading the charge. The genre often incorporates distorted vocals and heavy use of synthesizers, creating a dark and intense soundscape.
