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?
Not sure if they are strictly punk, but certainly adjacent: Propagandhi have a huge catalogue of great music. They came out with a new album this year, and its my top album for the year. Its a mix of political and highly introspective lyrics, and the sound is amazing!
At Peace
