We undoubtedly live in pretty crappy version of cyberpunk. For already quite some time. Authoritarianism and techno-feudalism are on the rise. Cristo-fascism is blooming. Rights and freedoms are being taken from us every single day. Tech is transformed purely into means of data extraction, surveillance and control. However there does not seem to be any counter-culture forming, no music or art genres with strong messages rising up against all of this. Where is the punk of today?
I listen to lots of punk music, especially in the electronic space. But I think people want to see another hardcore movement.
Really I see most people who actually try to make their own art as punk. The techno-fascists just want you to be complacent and consume content.
Any recommendations for punk electronic music? I’ve been wanting to get into making electronic music because disability means that’s a more accessible genre for me than playing traditional instruments, but it’s daunting to get into a new genre
Edit: this accessibility thing is also why electronic music, as a genre, has so much potential to be punk, which I find very cool
There’s quite a few good ones in the “Breakcore” genre like “machine girl” and “femtanyl”. I’m not sure they would consider themselves punk, but I have a pretty liberal definition of punk.
I also came across “blednost.” A little while ago, they’re pretty small. I just click on music that YouTube recommends a lot and find lots of small artists
