A fusion of electro and punk rock invented by The Screamers in the mid-1970s. Usually made with a sequencer or keyboard and has the same song structure as regular punk. The term electropunk has recently been discovered by scene kids and in turn they labeled various crunkcore/metalcore/pop rock bands as electronicore/electropunk because they use sequencers in their songs. Typically the samples and/or keyboard sounds are used in the way instruments used in punk (drums, bass, and guitar).

Electropunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that denotes works set in an era or world where inventions such as the Faraday Engine and the AC induction engine are the main sources of power and widely used—usually in the 19th century, and set in Victorian era England or the romanticized Wild West of America—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Other examples of Electropunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as air ship powered by repulsor-lift engines or analog computers.
Have you listened to the radio play, The Adventures of the Fortuitous Five? It is the first Electropunk story!
