Electronic Body Music.
A genre of music that is basically Dance music for goths. An off-shoot from the Industrial scene. Its hard to remain unbiased when summing up this genre. Basically its for Cyber Goths, Ravers who want to be goths but cant stand Guitars, and Rivit Heads who want to form a band, but cant play any instruments so they only use electronic music.
Razed In Black are probably the most well known E.B.M. (Unlike VNV nation who would have been but are somehow confused with Industrial)"band".
E.B.M. usually sounds like depressing or angry/angsty dance and techno music.
Played in Goth rooms across the country to piss off the Goths and Rivit Heads.
Unlike Industrial Rock which mixes Synths, Techno Beats, Mechanical sounds and other distortions along with the guitar, drum, bass, vocal combo to make an overall better sound, EBM takes out the guitars, drums, bass. Now im not a fancy pants lawyer, but it doesnt take Shelock Holmes to realise that Industrial Rock without the Guitars, drums and bass is just a load of sound effects and dance music with some guy whining about how the world hates him, and how he gets really, like, depressed man, over it.

Get the EBM (E.B.M.) mug.A phrase coined by the techno-industrial band Front 242. In fact before the term was commonly used by club-kids and rivet heads it was being printed on many Front 242 music albums near the tracklisting.
EBM transformed from heavy drummed post-industrial to sounding something more like synthpop. To those not in the 'scene' it could be described synthcore: something inbetween industrial and synthpop electronic dance music.

Get the EBM mug.Epic Beard Man (Thomas Bruso aka Vietnam Tom aka Tom Slick) is a 67 year old war veteran who gained internet fame on February 16th, 2010 in a video which was filmed by Iyanna Washington and was posted to YouTube. In the video, our elderly hero finds himself confronted by a racially sensitive and reasonably angry drunk black man. He subsequently surprises us by delivering a beat down so crushing in its righteousness that it has touched the scrotum of Jesus himself. Predictably enough, lulz ensued and 4chan dropped everything to crown their new King. Epic Beard Man is a MOTHER FUCKER. He even has the shirt to prove it.
