Digital horror is a contemporary horror aesthetic that focuses on dread emerging from networked technologies, software, and always‑on media. Narratives and sound worlds revolve around screens, social platforms, livestreams, malware, deepfakes, and the uncanny presence of algorithmic systems. In music and sound design, the style translates this fear of the digital into glitching textures, corrupted audio artifacts, synthetic drones, and the weaponization of familiar interface sounds (alerts, keyboards, notification pings). It often blends dark ambient, industrial noise, and hauntological sampling to suggest threats that live inside code, clouds, and data centers—consistent with the wider definition that emphasizes anxiety and supernatural menace arising from the Internet and modern media.

Egg punk is a lo‑fi, synth‑laced, jittery offshoot of punk that embraces awkwardness, absurdist humor, and devolved futurism. It tends to favor short, tightly wound songs driven by springy bass, trebly guitars, cheap drum machines, and buzzing monosynths, with nasal or deadpan vocals. The sound references first‑wave new wave and Devo‑style art punk as much as it does budget garage punk, swapping macho toughness for geeky, rubbery energy. Releases are typically DIY—4‑track or cassette‑recorded—and circulate through small labels, Bandcamp, and tape trades.

Garage punk is a raw, high-energy strain of rock that fuses the primitive drive of mid‑1960s American garage bands with the speed, sneer, and DIY ethos later associated with punk. It favors overdriven guitars (often drenched in fuzz and spring reverb), stomping backbeats, shouted or snotty vocals, and two- or three-chord riffs recorded with intentionally lo‑fi, live-in-the-room immediacy. Organ stabs, handclaps, and tambourines are common textural touches, while lyrics lean toward teenage frustration, lust, menace, and mischief. Songs are short, hooky, and explosive—more about attitude and impact than polish—making garage punk a perennial engine for underground rock scenes.
