Devo's prophetic message of “Devolution” and their fusion of electronics and punk made them a singular influence throughout the ’80s and into the ’90s.
The new wave band is best known for their mingle kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor and mordantly satirical social commentary.
The band's namesake, the tongue-in-cheek social theory of "de-evolution", was an integral concept in their early work, which was marked by experimental and dissonant art punk that merged rock music with electronics.
Their output in the 1980s embraced synth-pop and a more mainstream, less conceptual style, though the band's satirical and quirky humor remained intact. Their music has proven influential on subsequent movements, particularly on new wave, industrial, and alternative rock artists, as well as an internet microgenre originally known as "devo-core.
