In 2024, floppy disk music continues to thrive, with unique releases from a Hungarian net label called Floppy Kick. The limitations of floppy disks challenge musicians and collectors alike, sparking a niche anti-capitalist movement that stands in contrast to mainstream music distribution platforms. Floppies are not only a form of art but also serve as a reminder of the transience of art and information in the face of time and decay. Despite the looming extinction of floppies, collectors like Windisch, Nobuko, and Persky are passionate about preserving these tangible remnants of music history. Disk and floppy lovers worldwide are keeping the floppy legacy alive, ensuring that these iconic storage devices will be remembered long after they are gone.
