[edit] Die Warzau

I don't think Die Warzau belong here at all: at best they're contemporaries of Nine Inch Nails and forefathers to The Faint, but dance-punk is certainly not club/industrial/dance music, and the "dance-punk" label has never been given to Die Warzau as far as I can tell from searching around for articles about their music. "Dance-punk" doesn't mean just any combination of dance and punk: if that were the case, there'd be a lot more bands listed here (The Clash, most post-punk old and new...). As it is, dance-punk is a fairly specific, rather recently conceived variety of punk music. Maybe Die Warzau are somehow ancestors to this genre? Am I missing something? —Tarnas 22:27, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

fair enough point about the relative newness of the dance-punk genre label and that it would restrict die warzau from being classified as such, but saying that, i still feel that they had a fair influence in the sound of more contemporary acts like !!! (re Louden Up Now's similarity to die warzau's lp 'big electric metal bass dace'). how about a paragraph outlining dance-punk's 'Stylistic origins', listing influential ('proto-dance-punk'? ;) bands? --MilkMiruku 09:14, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
That would be worthwhile. I've never seen Die Warzau namedropped by any dance-punkers, but if there's real similarity then it makes sense to note it. Can you think of other bands that specifically led up to dance-punk? Q and Not U arrived there through D.C. post-hardcore, Out Hud seem to have arrived there through dub and jamming, !!! as part of Out Hud, LCD Soundsystem drawing a lot from Mission to Burma and those types... —Tarnas 03:44, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Labels

Dance-punk as a label is a newly devised description of the newer bands mentioned in this article. The influences of these new bands lie with the so-called "punk-funk" or "no wave" bands (also refered to as "death disco," or "mutant disco," after the ZE Records compilation) of the late 70s/early 80s, certainly, but none of those bands were labeled dance-punk at the time. Punk-funk is now the generally accepted term used in retrospect to describe that type of music in that earlier era (which was created by punk or, more accurately, post-punk bands influenced by urban/black dance music and R&B, in particular from the U.S.). The punk-funk term was originally used by Rick James to describe his own music in 1981.

[edit] Additional redirects

Even though there already exists a number of redirects:

I think you should create a few more catch-all #REDIRECT for your lead headwords, and their main variants:

  • Dance-Punk and DancePunk
  • discopunk and DiscoPunk
  • punk-funk and Punk-Funk
  • Dance-Rock and Dance Rock

With music genre names, it's awfully common for people who'll use them to write them using caps and/or variants. And theoretically, all bold headwords of the lead section and their main variants are supposed to have a redirect. -- 62.147.39.96 15:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Electro Rock

I suggest that Electro Rock should be merged with this page, as it's the same thing.

And I suggest a strong No. Categories of music might be hard to differntiate, but its about style and yes there is a difference. MrMacMan 04:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting Article

I'm probably going to be splitting this article, taking the big lists and moving them to List of dance-punk bands or something like that soon, unless someone can give me a good reason not to. Sparsefarce 20:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
