Power electronics is generally atonal, like most noise music; it also features a lack of conventional melodies or rhythms. To match its sonic excess, power electronics relies heavily upon extreme thematic and visual content: whether in lyrics, album art, or live performance actions. It is a genre that often invites strong reactions from both listeners and critics, if not dismissed or ignored altogether.[1] Power electronics is related to the early Industrial Records scene but later became more aligned with noise music.[2]
