Power Electronics

Power Electronics is a style of experimental electronic music which emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The style is characterized by harsh, distorted sounds and intense, aggressive vocals. It is heavily influenced by industrial music, and its sound has often been compared to white noise or an overdriven guitar. The style has a strong political and social message, often focused on themes such as power, domination, control, and alienation. It has been associated with both the punk and noise music scenes. Notable power electronics artists include Whitehouse, Muslimgauze, Prurient, and Throbbing Gristle.
