well, metal derived from the rock genre and techno derived from the dance genre. so i suppose its relevent.

I'm loving this genre, you get some really cool mixes as well mixing a dance band and a rock band together. I have some cool DJ Soulwax cds with that sorta stuff, and I like Radio 4's 'Dance to the Underground,' The Liars first album etc.

Some of Static-X could be considered dance-rock if its live, all the lights get techno-like and the ladies start dancing.
