EBM, or Electronic Body Music, is one of the more recognizable genres of Industrial music. EBM is the type of music most often played in Industrial music clubs and is known for hard, driving electronic beats and aggressive arrangements. EBM also usually has bass drive melodies and lots of different media samples. EBM themes are usually dark, and usually political or militaristic. Early EBM is sometimes called "Martial Music" because of the pervasive military themes. EBM artists in the 80's led to the creation of other Industrial music subgenres that are popular today like Futurepop and Synthpop. While there were many EBM bands that appeared in the 80's and early 90's, some of which are still producing music today and have become legends in the Industrial music world these five artists were the ones that really created the EBM genre and created the first entirely electronic music to find any type of significant commercial success, even though the appeal of EBM has largely remained limited to fans of Industrial music.
