Post albums that fit a cyberpunk aesthetic
>Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a future setting that tends to focus on society as "high tech low life"[1] featuring advanced technological and scientific achievements, such as information technology and cybernetics, juxtaposed with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.[2]

>Cyberpunk plots often center on conflict among artificial intelligences, hackers, and megacorporations, and tend to be set in a near-future Earth, rather than in the far-future settings or galactic vistas found in novels such as Isaac Asimov's Foundation or Frank Herbert's Dune.[3] The settings are usually post-industrial dystopias but tend to feature extraordinary cultural ferment and the use of technology in ways never anticipated by its original inventors ("the street finds its own uses for things").[4] Much of the genre's atmosphere echoes film noir, and written works in the genre often use techniques from detective fiction.[5]

Ok anti-fun parade, yes, two retards who can't play instruments and made a living off of screaming at people for five years definitely make ultra competent social critique by going, "FRANKIE! WE ARE ALL FRANKIES!"
Have you seen an interview with Rev or Vega? They aren't exactly intellectuals.
Suicide is famous because they're innovative, not because they were particularly poignant.

I think NLDW, TMS, or even BP has more cyberpunk to it. More modern internet culture present in the lyrics and style(the whole ARG thing, for example) and doesn't have hardcore guitar for half of the length.
Billy Idol can go if we get some more albums.

>>73028139
The album is very much worthwhile, I like, I own it.
Martin Rev & Alan Vega LITERALLY did not know how to play their instruments when they formed Suicide and LITERALLY screamed at their audience, comparing it to literature is not a good comparison.
Punk music is not about some incredible narrative, it's a very personal and animal genre.
Not once have I said that Suicide was bad, I am only pro-fun and pro-cyberpunk while you shitpost about le roach man.
Your "argument" was to shitpost a picture of kafka and insult me.

>>73028009
Eh, sort of. If vaporwave is a spectrum between ironic and artistic, 2814 is more artistic. I think their album art makes them more cyberpunk than anything

Sorry for the late response! I'm in the same boat, 20 and USA. Hope Fluke and The Chemical Brothers are high on your list as well - if not, absolutely do not hesitate to check them out.

Also highly recommend Leftfield, Renegade Soundsystem, Meat Beat Manifesto, The Orb, Lionrock, The Shamen, 808 State, The Future Sound of London, early Way Out West and Daft Punk, Global Communication/Jedi Knights, Saint Etienne (for a more pop sound), Lords of Acid, A Guy Called Gerald, Massive Attack (start with Mezzanine), and Sasha (anything he did before and including Involver is in general great)
>>
>>73029130

yeah the key-word is punk. it's a counter to the industrial oppressive land-scape, not a compliment. there are, of course, futuristic elements in cyberpunk still, but there needs to be a significantly human element. the soundtrack to deus ex human revolution is a future-orchestra with loads of opera singing. the soundtrack to blade runner is melancholic ambiance. bland industrial music is just the cyber with none of the fringe.

this is essential.

hi
>>
>>73031538
Despite the name, cyberpunk owes a lot more to noir films and literature than it does to actual punk, which is why Vangelis's score makes perfect sense while industrial music does not.

Given that cyberpunk is a genre of fiction, surely its sonic aesthetic should be defined by soundtracks to its films, both diegetic and otherwise.
>>
>>73032091
lol i'm well aware

>surely its sonic aesthetic should be defined by soundtracks to its films

gonna have to disagree. cyberpunk grew to something much bigger than just a decendent of noir and blade runner man- it grew to question humanity and our relationship to technology in ways that we couldn't understand back then. the music doesn't have THAT much to do with the films

the music to most good cyberpunk content quite literally has everything to do with the product.

VA-11 HALL-A
Blade Runner
Both Deus Ex games
Policenauts
Ghost In The Shell

you can't acknowledge that cyberpunk is heavily inspired by noir but simultaneously not realize that most noir films rely on their soundtracks heavily to instill theme and emotion.

Digital Hardcore is one of the most cyberpunk genres there is.
>>
>>73032263
what?

maybe i just didn't explain what i'm getting at succinctly: cyberpunk extends far beyond just film. yes films *like all of them* rely on their soundtrack, but that particular music isn't reflective of the genre as a whole. ex: batman and superheros are not strictly reflected in a hans zimmer score
>>
Cyberpunk is an idea that was pretty good when Neuromancer first explored it but hasn't done well with iteration, music included. When artists actually try to do it it usually ends up horrendous shit like Billy Idol's album. It works better when it's accidental, like how >>73031515 pointed out that it just coincidentally seems to fit the concept.

To tell you the truth, I didn't even get all the way through Neuromancer (twice I got distracted by weird life events), but once I finish reading Titus Alone I might go back to it next. Then I'll do the other two.

Haven't read PKD, but Gibson reads OK. His metaphors are a little obscure and can break the flow a bit, but he generally has wit and a gift for weaving neologisms in a way that doesn't just feel like some plasticky creation on top of his central ideas.
>>
>>73032415
>how is the writing though?
think convoluted purple prose with lots of tech lingo. you'll either love it or you'll hate it. i happen to love it. but even if you hate it, you should at least read a few chapters before you write it off because you get used to it after a while.
