Egg Punk?

Has anyone come across the genere 'egg punk?'

 

I heard the term for the first time last night listening to the 60 cycle hum podcast. It seems to be a sub genre of punk harking back to the late 70s and came about recently due to an internet meme. It seems to be based on a lo-fi aesthetic using fuzzy guitar and cheesy keyboard along with wacky lyrics to make a sound not unlike Devo.

 

Apart from the name, it appeals to me and I'm going to have a go at making a few tracks in this genre. It has also been known as devo-core.

 

As it seems to be mainly a US based thing perhaps there is scope for a UK specific sub genre. Any suggestions for what this could be called?

As you say it's very DEVOesque. I like Seggs Tape and what I've heard of The Caries Company. I've always enjoyed spiky, stripped down new wave and this genre adds a quirky creativity.
