Dirty electronic is a style of electronic music produced using distorted/gritty synthesizer and drum machine sounds, while maintaining a lead-vocal-driven pop song structure. Lyrics often contain controversial/offensive lyrics. A cousin of Synthpop, Electroclash, Industrial and, in some ways, Nerdcore, this genre of music is also often characterized by its vocal frustration with the current influence of conservatism and Christianity in the United States.

Mark Nicholas founded the record label Dirty Electronic in 2006 as a means to release this new style of music to the public.
