Power electronics is a genre of experimental music characterized by its abrasive, noise-heavy soundscapes and often, screamed or distorted vocals. Emerging in the 1980s, it evolved from the noise and industrial music scenes, incorporating elements of avant-garde and extreme music. During its peak in the 1990s, power electronics became a platform for sonic transgression, challenging traditional notions of music and exploring themes of violence, decay, and social critique. Artists within this genre often employed DIY ethics, using distorted synths, feedback, and manipulated tapes to create a sense of sonic chaos. Power electronics drew influence from industrial and noise music, but its intense, confrontational approach set it apart, making it a precursor to later genres like harsh wall noise and power noise. This genre's unapologetic, avant-garde ethos continues to influence underground music scenes, attracting listeners who crave a sonic experience that is both cathartic and uncompromising.
