Line 1:

'''Electroclash''' describes a style of music that fuses [[new wave music|new wave]], [[Punk rock|punk]], & [[electronic dance music]]. The movement combines this [[1980s]] sound (using [[synthesizers]], [[drum machine|drum machines]], etc) with visuals from the post-[[1970]]s [[Vivienne Westwood|Westwood]] & [[Andy Warhol|Warhol]] fashion/art scenes, with a decidedly mid-70s German influence. It mainly developed in the mid to late [[1990s]] in [[New York City]] and [[Detroit]] but came to prominence in 2000 - 2002 through [[Larry Tee]]'s [[Mutants (club night)|Mutants]] and [[Berliniamsburg]] nights at [[Club Luxx]] and his [[Electroclash™ Festival]] (which he used to trademark the word "electroclash") in [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn|Williamsburg]].

== Template ==

There is a nice template on Polish wiki that may be of use to us: [[:pl:Szablon:Polskie Służby specjalne IIRP/PRL/IIIRP]]. Althoug, while not a direct equivalent, the article on [[:pl:Służby specjalne]] contains some useful info. Note that there is no article on [[Polish Intelligence Services]] nor on [[:pl:Polskie Służby Specjalne]] atm - something that needs to be eventuallyy fixed. --[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]] ^{[[User_talk:Piotrus|Talk]]} 13:16, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

The name derives from the [[Electropop]] bands who provide the majority of the musical influence. Lyrics are generally punk inspired, often angry and more given to emotion than technique while the vocals are generally atonal in nature. A hyper-sexual [[post-feminist]] stance is often evident in the themes of many Electroclash outfits. In late 2004-2005, the Southern California Electroclash scene started to branch out from its NY counterparts. Led by [[a kiss could be deadly]], the SoCal Dance/Punk scene incorporates more guitar and live drums, while still remaining very synth heavy. The subjects and song lyrics are often darker than those of the East Coast bands.

I wrote a few paragraphs about the post WW-II history of the Polish intelligence. It's brief and could use some polishing. I removed a mention of the Biuro Ochrony Rządu (BOR). BOR is a small unit whose aim is physical protection of Polish government officials and foreign delegations. As such it is not an intelligence agency.
