Editing Genius The Transgression/Introduction (section)

===Music:===

Abney Park. A self-styled "steampunk" band, Abney Park's weird Gothic-Victorian lyrics blend eerily with a more traditional industrial sound. Their lyrics focus on alienation, tyranny, and the blending of the old and the new.

Bjork: Weird beats and a feeling of future-shock characterizes Bjork's work, which can be used to inspire some of the more optimistic notions geniuses might have about mad science.

Devo. Any band named after a mad science concept―in this case, the notion of human de-evolution―deserves mention, and Devo gains bonus points for its dark, surreal, often bleakly humorous lyrics and its electronic stylings.

Nine Inch Nails. An old favorite. Trent Reznor offers a relentless industrial cacophony coupled with lyrics of dehumanization, shame, and betrayal, accurately summarizing the feelings of far too many Inspired.
