Dystopia was an American crust punk band that formed in Orange County, California[3] in 1991. They were popular in both the heavy metal and punk scenes, due in large part to the band's bleak, misanthropic imagery.[4] Dystopia's lyrics often dealt with human emotions and social or political issues such as environmentalism, racial equality, substance abuse, and animal rights.[5] Their music utilized the slow, heavy sound of sludge metal whilst including more up-beat elements drawing from crust punk, grindcore, and noise rock.
