Floppy Disk Drive Music refers to the niche but beloved internet subculture where creators program outdated storage hardware to perform musical arrangements. By controlling the frequency of the stepper motors in the drives, engineers can produce specific musical pitches, turning a bank of floppy drives into a mechanical orchestra. The trend exploded on YouTube through creators like Paweł Zadrożniak and his 'Floppotron' setup, which famously covered everything from Queen to Star Wars themes. In meme culture, these videos are often used to showcase the pinnacle of 'geek' productivity or to humorously suggest that the grinding sounds of 90s technology are superior to modern studio recordings.
