I've heard this term used in articles, yet I don't really know what it defines. |

Venetian Snares? long hair, noise, snot and a laptop. |
||||||||
|

laptop punk is like hardcore (digital hardcore) stuff done by "bedroom musicians" like Patric Catani. |
||||||||
|
|

I'm familiar with glitch, which is used concurrently with IDM references. I assume laptop punk is somewhat related. I have some Venetian Snares...very aggressive, almost gabba IDM. |

I haven't heard Venetian Snares yet ;( Try getting "You're a Hero" by Patric Catani--very cool track you'd probably like! |

Sometimes he's listed as Patric C. |

I've heard the term "bedroom musicians" before... what does it mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

laptop punk is an oxymoron. punk by its nature is immediate and rough sounding; music made on laptops is always meticulously crafted because the process requires exactness. "laptop punk," another dumb label thought up by bored journalists. |
||||||||

means what you prolly think... music recorded in people's bedrooms (traditionally this meant on a cheap four-track recorder, but now it applies to computers as well). you could switch bedroom up to living room or den if you like. |

||||||||
|
|

||||||||

the soccer thing... but what does the Ramones song "Gabba Gabba Hey" mean. surely it's not about soccer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It just sounds good, like be-bop-a-loo-la. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
The Ramones rock! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sure it is. I can read its deep poetic meanings!! "Gabba Gabba Hey" means: "The government! The Government! Such a shame that our society has no morals compared to the reverse psycho cosmos! My coffee My soccer! Where art thou?" Its SO OBVIOUS!! I LOVE POETRY!!!! |

'laptop punk' is the journalists' term applied to some of the more rebellious electronic musicians who use laptops...such as kid606, the blechtums, cex, lesser, v/vm, vsnares...basically anyone you can think of from tigerbeat6 and similar artists i think like most descriptions/labels surrounding the whole 'idm scene' it was applied and is used sorta tongue in cheek |

someone said laptop punk couldnt exist. and although i agree that i hate the term and it is completely unecessary, i do feel that punks and laptops can gotogether. the essence of punk rock is not a guitar. it is not stupid kids making noise. its someone that has something less than mainstream to say. generally they are intelligent. so what kind of electronic music would a punk kid make? i guess if you really needed a description it would be laptop punk. probably electronic music that says something the punk kid wanted to say. still.. i do hate that term. anything we put our hands to become part of us. so if youre punk and you pick up a golf club you just invented punk golfing. if youre a punk and youre christian then there are punk christians. if youre goth and a hair dresser then there are goth hairdressers. you cant say something isnt possible for any reason cause if someones doing it then there it is. |

so exactly how can you tell the difference between laptop punk, tower punk and desktop punk? |
||||||||
|

i've also heard the term powerbook pop... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think matmos is considered power book pop... they do all their shit with laptops, and also kid606 i believe. he's not very pop though... |
||||||||

John, it could/does/obviousley exists. The only thing that will stop this futile argument will be a term that isn't so transparent. I can't be arsed thinking of one, but I'm sure it needs to be something like 'nobroy' or 'boomshakalak'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
exactly it's mostly crap..ATR and KID606 comes to mind..KID606 bugs me..but then again that's probably exactly what he's set out to achieve.. |
