What exactly falls under the definition of Neo-Folk? I like some new folk bands, but I suspect my definition of neo-folk might be somewhat removed from yours =P.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---VNV Nation and Assemblage 23 are EBM/Futurepop. I've NEVER quite worked out the seemingly arbitrary distinction between the two, except for a few bands (I KNOW :wumpscut: are EBM, I KNOW Neuroticfish are Futurepop, because, well, EBM is dead).

That's pretty much it really. Some people somewhere decided EBM had had its day, and it got called futurepop instead. "true"/first-wave EBM is the harder, but still synth-based stuff like Front 242, Die Krupps, Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, early VNV Nation (it was VNV who coined the term "futurepop" when they got more beepy, so I guess you could say that futurepop = light EBM). Not sure why Neuroticfish hate the term so much though.
futurepop (as far as I can tell) is just synthpop that's too dark/hard to be plain ol' synthpop, but too recent or light to be EBM. of course, it gets even more fun when you throw stupid terms like "darkwave" and gothic influences and try and make separate genres out of the resulting mess. what the hell are Blutengel anyway?

I can totally see Raven going "Nurr, So Confused, Nurr!" in response to wierd genre conventions like this =)

I always thought SP was far too fond of their noise roots to be called anything but Industrial
