EBM, or electronic body music, combines industrial elements with influences from popular dance music. The origin of the term EBM is attributed to Kraftwerk, who used it to describe their 1978 album The Man-Machine. Other electronic acts of the early 1980s, including Front 242 and DAF, soon began using the term as well. Clear electronic percussion, synths and vocals were typical of EBM of this time period.

Rhythmic noise fuses noise music with other (primarily electronic) industrial subgenres. It's also commonly referred to as "Power Noise," which is derived from the Noisex song, "United (Power Noise Movement)." Rhythmic noise should, however, not be confused with Power Electronics, which is more closely related to noise music. Highly distorted and otherwise processed electronic rhythms are common elements of rhythmic noise.

Intelligent Dance Music (or IDM for short) is an offshoot of electronic music that developed in the early 1990s, predominantly in the United Kingdom. The term "Intelligent Dance Music" and the implied stance that IDM is more intellectual than other genres of dance music is somewhat controversial, its use even having been denounced by prominent musicians in the so-called IDM scene. Despite this, the name is still widely used today in the media as well as by fans.

Electro-industrial established itself as a separate genre of music shortly following the rise of EBM in the early 1980s. Electro-industrial distinguishes itself from EBM in that it makes heavier use of distorted sounds and distances itself from EBM's more techno-influenced elements.

Synthpop developed as a branch of rock music in the United Kingdom in the 1970s and eventually became one of, if not the first, genre of music in which electronics became more important than acoustic instruments. Over the course of the 1980s synthpop grew to be a mainstay of popular music, though by the end of the decade it gradually lost its mainstream appeal. The late 2000s saw synthpop once again make a comeback with a resurgence of a new synthpop bands as well as synthpop elements being incorporated in other genres of music.
