[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:

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)

I accidentally created a redirect here called punk funk(song) when I tried to create one called punk funk. I'm not sure how it happened but can someone delete it please? Munci (talk) 14:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't see any redirect Punk funk (song) or punk funk(song). Please specify. Punk funk does indeed redirect here, as it should. Wwwhatsup (talk) 17:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

It's Punk-funk (song) Munci (talk) 17:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

OK done. Wwwhatsup (talk) 17:47, 21 December 2007 (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)
What is wrong with you electro-rock people? first you try and merge with New Rave now this? They are totally different things with totally different groups. I second the speaker above me172.143.100.113 22:44, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Thirded, ridiculous merger idea. Dance does not equal elctro, and rock does not equal punk. Seperate genres. Caoilte

I have to disagree strongly with merging Dance Punk and Electro Rock - there is a new genre needed for bands like IAMX, Nemo, Robots in Disguise, Ladytron, Chikinki, Infadels, The Faint, New Skin, etc - they may have elements of the dance punk genre, but there is far too much of a rock/guitar element to limit them to Dance Punk. Electro Rock is the closest label you might be able to assign to them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.135.217.224 (talk) 21:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC).


I strongly agree with the speaker above me... electro rock should not be merged with dance punk. The point about too much of a rock/guitar element is a good one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Buggirl16 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
I also disagree with the request. As I understand it, the Dance-Punk genre derives from the post-punk revival that was big in 2002 (when suddenly it became cool to play Gang of Four records), whereas Electro-Rock takes its cue from a combination of Garage Rock and Electro(clash). Very different sounds (spastic punk-funk rhythms vs electronic bleeps and bloops combined with guitars), different sets of bands, different fans. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Birdseed (talk • contribs) 07:02, 21 March 2007 (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)

Do it.--CountCrazy007 03:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] this article

seems like this article has been completely decimated over the past couple of months by one "hoponpop69". a copy of what it more or less would look like without his "contributions" is up at Talk:Dance-punk/Temp (based on the two revisions before his major edits), if anyone feels like chucking in a few citations and restoring it - CaptainMurphy 02:24, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I just reverted another edit by User:hoponpop69 which took out the JAmes Chance, Nina Hagen line. I think they are vital. I would question the Raybeats and Fleshtones mentions though. Pylon and Medium Medium are surely worthy of inclusion. There must be some good cites in Simon Reynolds book. Wwwhatsup 03:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

The reason I took it out was because it was unsourced content. I have no problem with you adding it back if you have a source, but in the mean time you shouldn't restore it. Hoponpop69 02:56, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Original?

This article states that :'the original disco-punk fusion came with No Wave icon James Chance, who under the name of James White and The Blacks, released Off White in 1979 on Ze Records'. Well, I'm sorry, but citation or not this is just plain wrong. Talking Heads had been making music in the punk/funk style for at least two years prior to this, culminating in the heavily disco influenced More Songs About Buildings and Food in 1978. 85.134.170.96 00:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Electropunk = Dance-punk?

Hm, this seems to be quite a problem. Seeing that EBM became an offshoot of the original electropunk brance, modern dance-punk, which has manifested itself into a completely different scene of music, is paralleled to the original electropunk music. I don't know how true it is to say that dance-punk was an influence on EBM seeing as it is considered the "same thing" as electropunk. ;] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jotsko (talk • contribs) 20:45, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
