Increasingly detached from the original punk formula, the modern and arty youth of the early eighties set to jettison an artform that had lost much of the nihilistic and exhilarating energy of its halcyon days, stuck, as it was, in an endless and noisy regression. No Future was the motto of an artform without a cause that no longer echoed with the mindset of the time.
Disheartened but eager to experiment and create, a new wave of Jacno's seminal 79 hit "Rectangle", a visionary, digital knockout, shorty of a train punk that dealt with the Rickenbacker and Fender era a fatal blow. The cold and robot-like beeps of analogic keyboards taken over. Casio, Korg MS 10, Arp Omni were the new paraphernalia of the növö generation. The ideal conveyers of its retro-futurist elegance and self-professed cold arrogance. They were pinnacles and symbols which turned into a potent fetish as the electric guitar in the fifties or the laptop in the nineties.BIPP recalls the glory of a selected few. The cream of the crop of the shooting stars and the cult of the katches of the product, Modern Mathematics or Charles de Goal.
