Cyberpunk

Cyberpunk music sprouted in the late 1980s, a cheeky tribute to the technological dystopias depicted in literature and film, where synths took centre stage and basslines seemed to hum ominously from the future. It’s a sonic landscape filled with electronic beats, haunting melodies, and just enough angst to make you question your life choices while simultaneously wanting to dance like a glitching robot. Interestingly, the genre's aesthetic often looks back at an imagined futuristic past, making it the perfect soundtrack for both retro gaming and cybernetic nightmares.
