TECHNO-PUNK LIFESTYLE / ART / APPAREL

Under the aegis of VINCENT VANTER

We are cheeky bastards who jump through the walls. We don't worry about any dictates. We define ourselves through meaningless clothing. We fight for that idiotic genuineness. Because freedom costs everything and future is uncertain.
We do what we want!

 

Techno-punk is a subculture that combines the aesthetics and ethics of punk with elements of cyberpunk and technology subculture. It's not just a genre, but a complex lifestyle that manifests in the following aspects:

  • Technological activism:
    • Techno-punks often use technology to promote social and political change.
    • They address issues of digital rights, cybersecurity, and internet freedom.
    • A DIY approach to technology, hacking, open-source software, and a drive to decentralize technologies are key elements.
  • Cyberpunk aesthetics:
    • The visual style of techno-punk includes cyberpunk elements like dark colors, futuristic clothing, body modifications (piercings, tattoos, implants), and DIY electronic accessories.
    • The aesthetic often mixes with punk elements like ripped clothing, patches, and anarchist symbols.
  • Music and art:
    • Techno-punk music combines elements of punk, industrial, techno, and other electronic genres.
    • Artistic expressions include digital art, graphic designs, street art, and DIY installations.
  • DIY ethics:
    • Emphasis on self-sufficiency and independence.
    • Support for a DIY (do it yourself) approach to technology, repairs, and creation.
    • An effort to reduce dependence on large corporations and centralized systems.
  • Social and political stances:
    • A critical view of corporate capitalism, technological determinism, and social inequalities.
    • Support for individual freedom, decentralization of power, and social justice.
    • Anarchist and anti-capitalist stances are common.
Thus, techno-punk as a lifestyle represents a combination of technological activism, cyberpunk aesthetics, music, DIY ethics, and socio-political attitudes.
