From the mid 2050's to the early 2070's the most popular
form of music in the 11-24 demographic was Static and its
cousin White Noise. Music corps were delighted, never before
did they have to do so little work to create a hit. Numerous
bands were formed to exploit the meme including Active Noise
Cancellation, Aliasing Filter and Bi-Linear Design.

The Static craze died out in the 2070's thanks to a
counter-meme created by an independant memetic engineer and
Elvis Presley fan Ryu O'Connor, despite numerous lawsuits on
behalf of the enterainment megacorps, however was revived by
an interview with the AI Kilburn in 2105 in which e listed
er favorite music:

InterviewBot: So Kilburn what tunes do you crunch numbers
to?

Kilburn: Well I'm quite a fan of last centuries rock bands,
U2, They Might Be Giants, Bowie and Tom Waits not to metion
classics such as Bach's Toccata and Fugue. More recent, well
I enjoy looking for patterns in Aliasing Filter's last MP9
"Random Electrical Discharges". Nothing too radical...

The AI movement hysteria was enough to kickstart the meme
again, and for much of the interplanetary period static was
enjoyed today by post SI:1 sapients, alienated adolescents
and AI cults.
