High-tempo, abrasive, piercing, and distorted dance music that finds the common thread
in the speed, heaviness and attitude of hardcore punk, industrial rock, and aggressive
electronic styles such as techno and drum and bass. Some bands such as Atari Teenage
Riot incorporate rapping and other elements of hip-hop. Electric guitar is common
and is played in conjunction with samplers, synthesizers and drum machines, and occasionally
supported by traditional electric bass guitars and acoustic drum kits. Vocals are
more often shouted than sung, and often by more than one member of the group.
