Electroclash

エレクトロクラッシュ / late 1990s–early 2000s / Style / Subculture Style

A late-1990s and early-2000s scene language joining analog synth revival, new wave, punk, and club decadence through hard flash, clashing makeup, androgynous dress, and rough digital type. It deliberately restages electronic history as cheap and abrasive rather than pristinely futuristic.

Red, blue, and white hard flash against black / Leather, vinyl, and metallic dress on narrow silhouettes / Asymmetric eye makeup and clashing cosmetic color / Angular sans, bitmap, and photocopied type mixed together
