I was wondering what the genre of the theme song from the game neon rider would fit into. It’s great, and want to find more like it. What category is it?

I would say ‘electro-pop’ or ‘alternative-house’.
Welcome to fluther
Thanks, I have to go check out some of this stuff on youtube.
Just go to Pandora and type it in. They will give you all kinds of songs like it. You won’t even need to know the genre.
Is this the song?
It has a lot of drum and bass influences if it is. It’s a bit too fast for house, and although it had the 4 on the floor beat at the beginning, it became more syncopated later on, and added in the drum and bass/dubstep type “moving synths”.
Check out some Noisia, Spor, Black Sun Empire and some Sub Focus.
Those some of the “heavy-hitters” in drum and bass. A bit less accessible than the Neon Rider, but all of them are some of my favorite artists, Noisia in particular.
@dverhy yeah, I used an swf decompiler to put the music on my iPod. I’ll check out those bands.
I have heard this kind of music refferd to as dubstep. One oter group that i have heard this kind of music from would be Flux Pavillion.
