Plunderphonics is a genre characterized by its bold experimentation with sonic appropriation, often incorporating fragments of existing music, sound effects, and spoken word into new, irreverent compositions. Emerging in the 1980s, plunderphonics drew upon the avant-garde and noise traditions, as well as the cut-up techniques of William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin. Artists associated with this genre frequently employ sampling, tape loops, and turntable manipulation to create a distinctive, often humorous sound that challenges notions of authorship and originality. Plunderphonics' peak popularity in the 1990s coincided with the rise of electronic and experimental music, influencing later genres like mashup and glitch. Notable for its DIY ethos and anti-commercial stance, plunderphonics has maintained a cult following, appealing to fans of experimental sound art and those intrigued by the genre's subversive, playful approach to musical creation.
