| 12 | The term "dance-punk" was first used in the early 80s (possibly in Great Britain) to describe punk groups with a more rhythmic tempo which made it easier to dance to, such as Music/GangOfFour, Music/AuPairs, and Music/ACertainRatio. Dance-punk bands had influences from {{disco}}, {{funk}}, and other dance music styles popular at the time. As [[ElectronicMusic EDM]] became popular in the 80s and 90s, some punk and post-punk bands became influenced by this genre. Around this time, the few (if any) dance punk like bands were labeled punk-funk. All of this lead to the dance punk of today, spearheaded by Music/LCDSoundsystem, Music/DeathFromAbove1979, Music/TheRapture, Music/YeahYeahYeahs, and many others. |

| 14 | A British off-shoot of this branch in the mid 2000s was "new rave.", which included such acts as Music/{{Klaxons}}, Music/LateOfThePier, Music/DoesItOffendYouYeah, Music/{{Hadouken}} and Music/NewYoungPonyClub. It has been suggested, however, that new rave is the invention of British publication NME (and others). Indeed, it is questionable whether or not there is an appreciable difference between new rave and dance-punk. |
