Synth punk is a high-energy, avant-garde genre characterized by its fusion of raw, DIY ethos with futuristic electronic instrumentation. Emerging in the late 1970s and early 1980s, synth punk drew from post-punk, new wave, and electronic music traditions, often incorporating distorted synthesizers, driving rhythms, and humorous, irreverent vocals. Artists associated with the genre often pushed boundaries of sonic experimentation, incorporating noise, dissonance, and avant-garde techniques. Synth punk's heyday in the 1980s coincided with the rise of industrial and electronic body music (EBM), but its offbeat, new wave-infused sensibility set it apart. The genre's eccentricity and defiant attitude continue to inspire new generations of musicians and fans, offering a refreshing alternative to more polished, commercial electronic music styles.
