You probably don't know it, but it's basically electronic music for metalheads. Perturbator & Carpenter Brut play at Metal festivals. I can say it's also clear from the public at their concerts.
Originally, it grew from synthwave, but is much darker.
I'd say it's best described as being the sort of OST you'd imagine in a retrofuturistic thriller movie from the 80ies that would be set far in the future.
Beneath the fun/kitch 80ies synth sound, it's actually much harsher than e.g. harsh EBM, a style I know well (my girlfriend loves it) but which I've always found not hard enough for my tastes, especially compared to extreme metal styles (esp. the kick drum).
