Instead of accepting the term "electroclash" (which has obviously
allowed this thing to go on way longer than the music's 15-minutes of
fame one-note humor deserves) why don't we steal a term from
architecture and call it "Electro Revival" in the breathiest
upper-class british accent we can muster. sort of like a house --
you know, it's a tudor Reh-VI-vahhhhl, dee-ah. (Remember, a tudor
revival bears about as much similarity to tudor architecture as
electroclash bears to the 80's as many of us lived it...)
I think the term "Revival" might be extra fun too, for Detroiters --
if intoned with a fake British accent, it might have the amusing
effect of reminding folks of the dreadfully affected pseudo-british
accents some locals took on during the early-to-mid 80's
yeesh. two weeks of that kind of treatment, and electroclash will be
gone. RIP.
