There are a lot of widely different styles of music that somewhat fit the aesthetic, do you have some more specific examples of stuff you are into musically.

I've been listening to this one a lot lately

>Digital Soundtracks
i've gotta give that one a shot. i mostly just listen to their earlier stuff. what would you even call this genre? post-industrial maybe?

>>511
I'd call it post-industrial, though some classify Clock DVA as post-punk.
In my opinion post-industrial is a bit too broad for such music, as it may include both EBMers like Front 242 and FLA and "softer" sounding artists like Clock DVA, late Cabaret Voltaire or Netz.

Front Line Assembly and Front 242 are pretty good. Bit outdated now but still cool to listen to. Also check out the units, although I'd say they're more synth-poppy.

Welp. Someone already recommended those bands. Apologies. You all have good taste btw :)

While not exactly cyberpunk per se, I used to listen to a lot of psytrance and experimental hardcore electronic music. The kind of thing the DJs would blast at the renegade rave in a vacant warehouse or under a highway overpass, at least at the parties I found. Personally I believe that chiptune and breakcore/lolicore represented a unique manifestation of wired culture back in 200X. Classic psytrance also emminates a distinctive vibe. To name a few artists in particular, DJ Sharpnel, Kenta-EZ, T+pazolite, and Betwixt & Between, DJ Kurara, loffciamcore, and Kobaryo are all pretty sweet.

The name kinda speaks for itself, electronic and punk. I think a lot of underground electronic music would fit in the whole cyberpunk genre.

>some kind of Cyberpunk style
honestly depends on what you're interested in.
There's many musics that are related to cyberpunk in odd ways. Of course you have all this punk-derived stuff, but what really captures the ideas in my opinion are reggae and grime.

Dub is the original punk, basically, it's all about the diy ethos, I mean, the very concept originated with misusing mixing desks. Just try to look past the juvenile DUDE WEED LMAO aesthetic associated with much of it due to people simply not understanding patois.

Instrumental grime is also really interesting, it always felt very cold and futuristic to me. Also the Asian influences you get in some are really cool.

Musically, I originally come from the rock & metal side. And although electronic music is deeply connected to cyberpunk(& I grew to love it), especially its punkier side (I see Atari Teenage Riot ITT, Death Grips probably here too, Archive as well), I feel like the cyberpunk potential of rock music is often overlooked.
So, I'll post examples of rock-derived music that feel pretty cyber to me, mostly post-rock, shoegaze and noise rock, that, imo, embody very well the "low-life" side of cyberpunk premises.

Could quote many more that fit my idea of music in a cyberpunk time, even though the music itself doesn't appear to be referencing/showing it, from Dinosaurjr to Fugazi, hell even sonic youth, but this sentence is prbbly not very clear so Ill stop there.

Leftism is a great high-energy proto-electronic album from the early 90s, and 1 song features in "Hackers" so I guess that makes it cyb :)

Great music to hack the gibson, skateboard or gaze at the city from a rooftop to.

>>515
yea i dont think this stuff fits the cyberpunk "aesthetic" that gets thrown around a lot nowadays , who decides cyberpunk has to be dark and gloomy.

hardcore anime music is extremely "cyb" in the "real hacker soykaf" sense of stealing samples from multimillion dollar anime studio productions (va's get paid the most in the industry, esp when they sing) and fucking them up, ie vocal cuts or distorting this entirely commercial product that is essentially merchandise into something of their own

Nine Inch Nails just released a new EP, and I think this track (and its music video) is pretty /cyb/.

Alice, how cyb is it on 0-10 scale?

>>1503
I normally enjoy what this russian weeb does but this album feels really boring and repetitive.

/cyb/-scale:
paranoid hallucinations in a club/777

is machine girl cyberpunk?

Industrial bands like Ministry. Electronic music such as early Acid House. Hardcore punk that was coming out of DC and NY. All the harder sounding music of the early to mid 80s when Neuromancer and all the other Cyberpunk novels were being written and heavily influencing the writers.

The least cyberpunk music in the world is weeaboo vocaloid soykaf.
