Futurepop is a derivative form of electronic dance music that evolved in the late 90s with VNV Nation and Apoptygma Berzerk. The genre incorporates the more melodic elements of synthpop music as well as heavy trance beats to create music that is considered more danceable and upbeat. Some songs in the genre have become popular in dance clubs, particularly in Germany, where VNV Nation has enjoyed some chart success. Futurepop music does, however, retain some elements that are popular in electronic music, including heavy use of sampling, a generally bleak worldview, and an absence of vocal modification that is popular in many other forms of electronic music.
The scene peaked in the early-to-mid 00s as artists such as Assemblage 23, Ayria, Colony 5, Covenant, Icon of Coil, Neuroticfish, Rotersand, and Seabound formed or began incorporating elements of the genre into their music. The scene has begun to decline in the late 00s due to artists disbanding or a general decline in quality among many of the existing artists.
