What is "electronic body music"

n. A genre of aggressive danceable music originating in the 1980s and taking elements from industrial and electronic music.

Electronic body music (EBM) is a music genre that combines elements of post-industrial music and electropunk. It first came to prominence in Belgium and was considered a part of the European new wave movement.

Original, or original-styled electronic body music is sometimes referred to as old-school EBM and should not be confused with aggrotech, dark electro or industrial music.
