Old-school EBM

For thoughtful child sponsors
Old-school EBM is a subcategory of the musical genre Electronic body music (EBM).

It refers to music of bands like Front 242, Nitzer Ebb or Die Krupps. The term became popular during the last years to emphasize a tendency towards "older" bands or at least towards their style in contrast to genres like synthpop or futurepop.
