Electronic rock (also known as electro-rock or digital rock) is a music genre that combines electronic music and rock music, using guitars and drums along with synthesizers. The style is said to first have been pioneered in the late 1970s and early 1980s by groups such as Ultravox, Kraftwerk, Devo, Gary Numan/Tubeway Army, the Human League and Japan.
The term was originally used only for the more hi-tech type of pop music until around 1983, when it started to be used for all kinds of electronic pop music. As digital technology improved in the 1990s and 2000s, electronic rock began to become more prominent, because the use of electronic instruments made it much easier for bands to experiment with new sounds.
The genre had an underground following in the 1990s and 2000s mainly due to lack of exposure. Despite this, it has influenced many other genres like alternative rock, post-grunge and nu metal.
