On Paperface Zine, there’s an article by Martin Meyer (Lumpy Records) titled "A Case for Hatching: My Eulogy for Egg Punk Explained."

Interestingly, he pretty much wrote the same things I posted about nine months ago! Back then, I was already questioning whether egg punk was an unfulfilled promise—how it started as a breath of fresh air but quickly became predictable and stagnant.

You can find my post by scrolling just below this one.

Here’s a small excerpt from Martin Meyer’s article:

if you are punk in 2025 ... you are either a clueless highschooler and you get a pass, a clueless college kid with no imagination and no foundation in punk music, or you are that one band on third mạn and should know better. more than ever we are in need of new sonic avenues for protest, feeling, and expression in our community, as we fall deeper into the depths of this new dark age. i am calling on all of you who have participated in this trend to think longer, try harder, and better. To echo mayo thompson of red krayola, "definitions define limit"."

Egg punk, an unfulfilled promise?

A few years ago, when people started talking about egg punk, it was like: "Finally, something truly new under the punk rock sun". It was fun, it was different. After years of punk feeling like a dog chasing its own tail, egg punk seemed like the jolt we needed. But alas, the jolt was short-lived.

Egg punk, with its promise of novelty and infectious energy, seemed to be the defibrillator for a struggling punk heart. And for a moment it was. But then what? Then the novelty became routine. The scene became filled with clones, with records that all sounded the same, with bands you couldn't tell apart. And that vocal effect—that damn 'intercom-like' sound that should be distinctive, but instead flattens everything into a monotonous background hum.

Evolution? There was none. Egg punk had its chance to take punk rock a step forward, but instead of running, it chose to run in circles. And so, while the engine seems to have restarted, the car is going nowhere. It just keeps spinning around, without direction, without purpose.

Don't get me wrong, there are still bands that try to stand out, to make a difference. But they are the exception, not the rule. Could egg punk still save punk rock? Maybe, but only if it finds a way to break the cycle, to really renew itself, to surprise us again. Otherwise it will be just another nostalgic chapter that we will only remember a few records from.

As we enter the month in which year-end charts are compiled, I would like to extend a special thank you to all those independent labels who played a key role in making 2023 a year full of outstanding records. In a field where challenges for small labels are plenty, your unwavering dedication, passion, and courage have truly made this a remarkable year for independent music.

In the face of the difficulties that often accompany smaller labels, you have persevered. It's a daunting task to name every label or artist involved, knowing that there's always the risk of inadvertently missing someone. So my heartfelt thanks go out to all labels who have worked tirelessly to amplify the voices of emerging, visionary and creative talent. Not to mention the great work done by those labels dedicated to reissues and bringing hidden gems and masterpieces to light.

And even though you have made me poorer because of the amount of records you have forced me to buy this year... God bless you!
