Dance-punk is a high-energy genre characterized by its fusion of post-punk's raw intensity and indie rock's eclecticism with the infectious, dancefloor-friendly beats of electronic music. Emerging in the early 2000s, dance-punk drew on the spirit of 1970s and 1980s punk and new wave, updating these influences with modern production techniques and a bold, playful attitude. The genre's defining sound features driving rhythms, prominent synthesizers, and often, yelping, emotive vocals. As a key part of the early 2000s indie dance revival, dance-punk played a significant role in shaping the decade's musical landscape, influencing a new wave of rock and electronic artists. With its irreverent blend of punk's rebelliousness and electronic music's euphoria, dance-punk created a unique sonic identity that continues to inspire and energize audiences.
