Futurepop is an electronic music genre, an outgrowth of EBM, that evolved in the early 2000s. It is characterized a danceable sound with heavy Synthpop influences, and has become popular mainly in dark alternative electronic music scene throughout the world, particularly in Europe.

Futurepop retains some elements of EBM and Electro-industrial but generally adds the more melodic elements of Synthpop and some Trance music influences. The progenitors of the genre are usually considered to be VNV Nation, Covenant, and Apoptygma Berzerk.

Ronan Harris of VNV Nation cited himself with the term "futurepop" during a discussion with Apoptygma Berzerk lead singer Stephan Groth to describe the sounds of their music and similar groups at the time: According to Sorted Magazine writer "Girl the Bourgeois Individualist":

He says he came up with it during a conversation with Apop's Stefan Groth when they were discussing the arrogant attitude the press had towards the scene, dismissing it as simply an '80s revival. There was also the problem with the terms that were around, they regarded electro as encompassing too many things, while EBM is not what it used to be and the idea of the whole dark scene gives the impression that everyone is hanging out in crypts and listening to Sopor Aeternus. Ronan sees their sound as coming from the '80s scene, the Front 242/Nitzer Ebb scene, but bringing in a broad range of elements.

As of 2009, other leading artists of the genre were Assemblage 23 and Neuroticfish.
