This is a serious question.

Is there anyone keeping track of infosec-related songs and music? I mean music where the lyrics are specifically about hacking and hackers. Could be music made by people in the community, like this song, but also outside of the community.

@lorenzofb Hmm, there's the nerdcore genre - that'll help you branch out.

@lorenzofb - This Cyberpunk Bluegrass album meets your needs:

Ok, I found the coolest thing ever. ===Cyberpunk Bluegrass Music=== @coreysnipes@hachyderm.io suggested I look into Bluegrass in addition to my current studies of Irish Trad music as I learn how to play the Irish whistle. That makes sense as a lot of Bluegrass stems from old Irish music. In my search for Bluegrass music with Irish whistles, I stumbled across Justin Myles Holmes' "Barlow's Jig". And get this... after listening to an Irish whistle, a banjo, a fiddle, and other instruments playing a bluegrass jig... ...you hear a voiceover reading of "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace (1996)" written by none other than John Perry Barlow, founding member of the @eff@mastodon.social John Perry Barlow. Barlow's Jig. My worlds have collided. Heck, I'd argue that Folk Music + Calls for Digital Independence = Solarpunk !!! Give it a listen here (the voiceover starts at 2:45 but listen to the leadup as well): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck8AZA11oYQ&list=OLAK5uy_n1BAK9bfUT9iwOo8yTRVfKeYI-St_9TME&index=11 (full URL just includes the song itself and a playlist for the album. No tracking parameters) #solarPunk #cyberPunk #folkMusic #tradMusic #bluegrass #tinWhistle

@Lee_Holmes @lorenzofb in particular Dual Core and to a lesser degree Frontalot

(Dual Core’s lyric “and I’m hard like OpenBSD internals / excuse me, I gotta make a call to the kernel” will always be a classic)
