electrocute

To kill something using electricity. In common usage, the word is incorrectly used as a synonym to "shock," which means to apply electricity to. This usage being far-spread does not make it correct, however.
Incorrect: My science teacher electrocuted me when I entered the classroom. (Unless your science teacher is a murderer.)

Correct: The man, condemned for third degree manslaughter and arson, was electrocuted.

electroclash

A festival put together by Larry Tee to feature new musical artists, most of whom were electro-based - soon became the term to describe the nu-electro/synthpop/techpop/retro 80s genre that artists adopted to themselves (or rather, fans attached to the artists).
Have you heard of that electroclash group Ladytron?

Electroclash

Electroclash is a form of underground dance music.

It kind of goes in 3 ways: Artsy, "intellectual" musicians who love art galleries, then there's super-queer, club-oriented, has-nothing-to-do-with-nothing lyrics, and finally, the third direction, the dark, or "synthtron" (see Ishkur's guide to electronic music), which isn't as camp, the artists sharing album space on compilations with miss kittin, Front 242 and even dope stars inc.

The genre is alright. You can be a pretentious wannabe-in-the-80s valley girl, A european light-goth, or a simple pop-tart, and listen to it.
