Electro

Electro is a genre of electronic music that emerged in the early 1980s. It was pioneered by artists such as Afrika Bambaataa, Kraftwerk, and Yellow Magic Orchestra. Electro is a mix of funk, hip-hop, and techno, characterized by the use of synthesizers, drum machines, and sequencers. Its sound often features distorted bass lines and robotic or robotic-sounding vocals. Its popularity grew in the early 2000s, when the genre began to be embraced by the mainstream music industry. Electro has influenced a wide range of genres, including EDM, hip-hop, and pop music.
