Dystopia was an American crust punk/sludge metal band that formed in Orange County, California[2] in 1991. They were popular in both the heavy metal and punk scenes, due in large part to the band's bleak, misanthropic imagery.[3] Dystopia's lyrics often dealt with human emotions and social or political issues such as environmentalism, racial equality, substance abuse, and animal rights.[4]
