Cyberpunk music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyberpunk is not a music genre per se, but more a term that can be used to describe music that incorporates cyberpunk like musical or lyrical concepts. The first usage of the term for a style of music was the Voivod's Nothingface, a psychedelic thrash metal album inspired by William Gibson's Neuromancer novel. Genres that can also be described as cyberpunk influenced include industrial/electronic body music, drum and bass, intelligent dance music, power noise, futurepop, electroclash, electronic punk music and neurofunk.
Worth noting (if only thematically) is Billy Idol's album, 'Cyberpunk', which incorporates numerous overt Cyberpunk themes (including a bit of the Hacker Manifesto, and a song called Neuromancer).
