Talk:List of electroclash bands and artists

Ladytron are NOT electroclash[edit]

The band existed before this term was coined by some journalists. Ladytron also rejected this tag. For example:

Were you uncomfortable with the media lumping you in with the electroclash movement during your early days?
We were always lumped in with bands we sounded nothing like and often didn't have much in common with. That was what made us uncomfortable. For that reason, we just tried to avoid any connection with the term. Our sound is never reactionary to outside elements, it’s always natural and down to experiences. source

So, don't add Ladytron on the list because they're not part of this music subgenre. Their style is electropop and New Wave. Deepblue1 (talk) 21:08, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
