Voltaic Synth

Voltaic Synth is a genre of music specifically associated with the robotic sabarus alpha race; it has its roots in the widespread popularity of "synth packs," electronically synthesized sound fonts that an alpha could use to replace their traditional vocal synthesizer software and create music. Voltaic synth is noteworthy for its lack of attempt at realism and deliberately eschews synth packs that are mostly indistinguishable from real instruments in favor of sounding deliberately "electronic".
The phenomenon of voltaic synth likely originated from criticisms levied at sabarus alphas and other "electronic" musicians for bypassing the need to actually learn an instrument. Given the constraints of instruments that don't sound "real," such artists created a different type of genre that embraced "artificial-sounding" instead of pursuing perfect mimicry of real instruments. In some cases, such as with "chiptune voltaic synth," artists might go entirely in the opposite direction of realism and write and perform music that sounds barely like its real counterpart.
