Future Music is a particularly narrow genre of music that combines techno with laser gun and phaser effects. The aesthetic schema that would best describe Future Music is post-post-post-modernism.
While generally regarded as highly innovative, Future Music is described by many people as unlistenable, and almost excruciatingly annoying. Like present-day techno music, critics argue that Future Music is mostly created by the work of a computer, rather than a human. Proponents of Future Music argue that their music is a rejection of the antiquated anthropocentric form of music, that is a result of a commodified, stratified, post-industrial society. Future Music is also a response to the emergence of increasingly rationalized, class-unconscious and bureaucratized industrial societies. It is inexplicable why music in the near future would abandon more organic and familiar sounds in favor of inorganic and digitized sounds. The proponents of Future Music argue that that line of reasoning is anachronistic and obsolete. They abandon a «line» of reason, and arrive not in an inexorable syllogistically logic system, but more of a «figure eight» of reason. Future Music musicians are inexplicably clad in assorted tin foil outfits. «Robo-Nerd» is a particularly offensive epithet for Future Music musicians. «Robo-Nerds» are those who contend that modern social music is an anachronistic hypothesis of rational, industrial societies, and that others can not adequately explain post-post-post-modern, bureaucratized societies, increasingly «decentered» by difference of culture, race, and gender. The unusual vocals of Future Music consist of outbursts such as «The Future is right after now», «The Future is not yesterday», and the almost-normal «The Future is now».
