The November issue of _Wired_ has a fsacinating article by
Malcolm McLaren (of Sex Pistols fame) about an international
underground music scene centered around tweaked 8-bit
computers and electronics devices: C64s, GameBoys, NES
consoles, etc. It's kind of a merging of the techno and punk
aesthetic, full of all that pricipled political posturing and
whatnot...but the music's not bad, at least what I've heard of it.

It starts with the artists and spreads to the crowds (did someone
say something like that before?)...
