Acid Punk (n) ~
A genre classification found in Windows Media Player and other media library tools that follow the ID3v1 standard for tagging MP3 files. It is associated with Genre ID #73 in the ID3v1 genre list.
Background:
ID3v1 is a metadata format used in MP3 files to store information such as title, artist, album, and genre.
This standard includes a list of predefined genre names, each assigned a numeric ID from 0 to 125 (originally).
ID #73 corresponds to “Acid Punk.”
Interpretation:
While “Acid Punk” does not have a clearly established or widely recognized musical definition in the real-world music scene, it’s often thought of as a blend or experimental fusion of:
Punk rock’s raw, aggressive style
With acid house or psychedelic influences, possibly including electronic effects or hallucinatory themes
Noteworthy:
The term is rarely used in mainstream music classification.
Its presence is more of a historical artifact of the ID3v1 genre list than a reflection of a distinct, widely-acknowledged musical movement.
