Which do you like more?

[DJ Nocker]

they clearly are different genres that are often clumped together, which do you like more?

[Joey Deadcat]

You already know my answer.

[DJ Nocker]

You already know my answer.

Yea, I also knew you would be one of the first three people to post an answer

so thats...

1 for goth/punk

0 for industrial/electronic.

[phee]

Industrial/electronic.... but it needs to have eclectic flavors for me to really like it.

[DJ Nocker]

I figured you would say something to that effect

[Tyger]

Yes.

I like both, depending on who or what it is.

But I lean more to the Industrial/Electronic...

[DJ Nocker]

Yes.

But I lean more to the Industrial/Electronic...

I figured with you being A City Club goer. (that is not an insult before people start throwing accusations)

2 for industrial/Electronic

1 for goth/punk

Im so damn picky with both the genres that I cant fairly say. This is more for everyone else than my opinion though.

[prick]

Goth/Punk all the way!

[Msterbeau]

I like music.

[DJ Nocker]

Goth/Punk all the way!

2-2

I figured you would choose goth/punk, hope you are trying to hear the new stuff as well as the old, lots of cool stuff out there

IMHO, I have to go with Goth/Punk. Even though I’ve spent more time on electronic music than my guitar, much of it was inspired by the "neo-chamber-music" of Post-Rock, along with Ozzy, and Sabbath. Not to write electronic music out, especially synth strings and what they‘ve done for so much music. Since its some of my favorite music I also have to say there aren‘t enough Indie rock bands in the post-punk vein; especially in the US, whereas the UK currently has some of the best.

[DJDeadbeat]

This is really hard, especially where each scene stands nowadays. I can't really be arsed with punk much nowadays, unless it's art school post-punk stuff, ala Orange Juice or anarcho stuff like Zounds or Flowers in the Dustbin.

Goth is kind of stale right now, but I'm going to say Goth/Punk because that's what I grew up on.

But I'd prefer to and will continue to support analog electronics and the vibrant minimal-synth scene nowadays.

North America has a very plentiful post-punk scene too.

Channel 3x4, Automelodi, Silk Flowers, Mika Miko, These are Powers, Ancient Crux (anything on Family Time records), Rapid Youth, Ariel Pink, Blank Dogs, Crocodiles, Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls, MINKS, Eat Skull, Factums, Kurt Vile, Woods, Mi Ami, etc x 10000.

US has better goth bands too, especially out on the Northwest coast!

[Joey Deadcat]

Is electronic/synth music just easier for folks to dance to?

I will have to look into them. Literally, the only band on that list I've heard of between Last.FM and Youtube is MINKS.

Blank Dogs are tops and if you dig Jesus & Mary Chain you'll dig Crocodiles. And Crystal Stilts is very much at the top of my list there.

MINKS is awesome. Captured Tracks records is a brilliant label. Half of their discography is on constant rotation at Something Cold. Cosmetics, Soft Metals, Blank Dogs, Further Reductions, etc!

[n0Mad]

Industrial/Electronic. For whatever reason, I really don't like Goth/Punk at all. *shrug*

I feel the same way about most deathrock, no worries.

[Raev]

Hmm...

I enjoy the old guitar and attitude driven industrial of days gone by...newer "industrial" and electronic music bores me. If I had to choose a side though, I'd go the punk/goth way.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

[Joey Deadcat]

Of course, I like the occasional sax and creepy organ (Farfisa or Hammond) thrown in.
