For me, I’m not sure.

I love synthwave like GUNSHIP and PYLOT and Essenger as much as the next cyberpunk, but besides a few particular GUNSHIP and Essenger songs, they don’t feel quite right.

Neither does straight up punk rock or metal, which is the other stuff I listen to.

The cyberpunk music I want needs to be a blend of the two I think — the atmospheric sounds and use of synths and technological effects from synthwave, and the overt rage and message and aggressive, imperfect rock sound of punk rock and metal.

Edit: I’m liking industrial so far!

    Check out Amaranthe - Digital World!

    Edit: I was looking for new music the other day and came across this gem. Now I’m addicted to the whole album (but I’m not sure if it’s all like what you’re looking for, it’s mostly heavy metal I think? I’m not good with genre names)
