ATARI PUNK MANIFESTO
1 Retrocomputing is useless, but that just makes it better
10 Obfuscation is a legitimate aesthetic choice
11 Strange haircuts, cardboard guitars, and computer samples
100 Cyberpunk was more fun when it was divorced from reality
101 New Wave is punk with synthesizers, but we love you anyway
110 All that we are is all that we need to be
111 All that we know is human machinery
1000 64k isn't enough for anyone, but it's more than enough for us
1001 There was a time when men were men, women were men, and children wrote their own device drivers
1010 We aren't nostalgics; we just play them on TV
1011 Our rear view mirrors are neon pink, unironically
1100 It's too much machine for you
1101 Paper is accordion-folded, and 3d is in wireframes
1110 Acoustic couplers make sweet music
1111 Mice? Where we're going, we don't need mice.
