Punk rockSynth-pop

Polysics is a Punk rock and Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Devo, The Tubes, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Neu! and Brian Eno. Those roots explain a lot about how Polysics arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as ZAZEN BOYS, NUMBER GIRL, BEAT CRUSADERS, 9mm Parabellum Bullet and Ellegarden, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Lemon Demon, Puffy AmiYumi and BUCK-TICK, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 23 connections around Polysics, reaching back through Devo and forward to Lemon Demon.
